12Archibald Thweatt to Thomas Jefferson, 17 February 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
There was no prospect of doing any thing in the country, I engaged Several citizens in Petersburg , to get Subscriptions to the Central College and they inform me, that the attempt was vain.

In my answer to your favor of the 18 th ult I omitted to remind you that the Will of R.S. is most clearly admitted by the bill for it alleges “that the said R.S. made his testament and last will with all due solemnities bearing date the 15 th day of May 1759 , and in it he devises his whole estate real and personal to his wife Elizabeth and her heirs for ever” &c.

15To Thomas Jefferson from Archibald Thweatt, 10 August 1806 (Jefferson Papers)

18Archibald Thweatt to Thomas Jefferson, 18 May 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been here five days, and from morning ’till night employed with Mr Ladd in stating Skelton’s accounts—His investigations are made with so much care and deliberation that about one third of the labor remains yet to be done—I shall continue with him until Sunday—We differed at first very frequently but on unfolding all our testimony, the Commissioner seems now to agree with me—and I hope...
