Samuel Garland to Thomas Jefferson, 24 October 1821
From Samuel Garland
Lynchburg Oct 24. 1821
Sir
A client put into my hands a bond against Mr Hawkins for collection, who to avoid the expence of a suit, gave in exchange your and Mr Yancys bond for $231. at interest from the 12th day of October last
The money is much needed by my client, and I now send my agent1 with the bond, under the full confidence that the money will be paid—or if it shall be more conveniant to you a draft upon your agent in Richmond at 60 days will be satisfactory—
I am Sir Most Respectfully Yr. obt. St.
S. Garland
