1V. To Archibald Stuart, 12 February 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
The H. of R. has been in conclave ever since 2 aclock yesterday. 25. ballots have been taken, & were invariably 8. 6. & 2. divided. the intervals of balloting were from half an hour to an hour.

I trouble you with the inclosed copies of mr Clarke’s last letters to me, which will shew you he is indebted to me from Mar. 19. 98. £90.18.8½. what he says about it’s being [to be collected cannot] concern me, because by our original agreement the nails were to be sold for ready money only, & therefore I charged only a ready money price. if he sold on credit, doubtless he laid on a good...

I furnished to Wm. Alexander of Augusta in 1795. nails to the amount of £16-10-3. The year following I gave Mr. Saml. Clarke an order on him for the amount. He talked about some suit he had employed Joseph Monroe to bring for him in my county, the proceeds of which were to pay me.
