I recieved yesterday your favor of July 20. and as I expect to be in Albemarle between the 12th. and 20th. of September I should have deferred answering it till I might have the pleasure of doing it verbally, were it not that your purpose of making preparations for a crop at Colle requires a speedier answer as to that particular. You know I told you that I should not consider myself as having...
Intensity of employment will I hope be with you a sufficient, as it is a very real, excuse for my tardiness in acknowleging the reciept of your favors of Nov. 15. and Feb. 5. The letter to M. Le Roy I put under cover to Mr. Fenwick, our Consul at Bordeaux, to whom I wrote very full details of all those circumstances which I thought might tend to interest your uncle, and I desired Mr. Fenwick...
Your favor of Apr. 25. came to hand three days ago. The letter to Madame Bellanger will go by the French packet which sails from N. York this week. By advices from France of the last of February matters were going on perfectly well; here and there (particularly in Alsace, and at Strasburg) some commotion, but quiet very generally established elsewhere; the revenues beginning to become...
I have the pleasure to inclose you a letter which I found on my arrival here. I find one also of July 8. from Mr. Fenwick our Consul at Bordeaux in which is the following passage. ‘Mr. Le Roy has been absent all this summer from Bordeaux. He is now in Paris and expected to return in course of a month or two. Immediately on his arrival I will wait on him in person with the letter you covered...
Your favor of Nov. 15. was a month in getting to me. Since my reciept of it, I have taken such opportunities as my business and acquaintance here would allow me, to try whether I could obtain money for you, on the ground explained in your letter, either from the bank, or any other persons. The bank gives money in exchange only for merchants’ notes: and on application to merchants I find that...
I received your favor of Feb. 14. long after it’s date, and hope that by the present regulation of your post you will get this answer quicker. The loss upon your legacy, on account of the depreciation of Assignats will be very great, and therefore I should think it unadviseable to draw at this moment for more than your necessities require. This place is so perfecly mercantile, and regular...
On my arrival here I called on Mr. Vaughan, and found that there were only 25. boxes of glass in Mr. Homassel’s hands, which he had begun to sell, and some articles newly arrived addressed to Mr. Morris. As Homassel had begun the sale of what was in his hands, he thought it best to let them remain. As to those in Mr. Morris’s possession I called on him, and he promised me he would immediately...
I received yesterday your favor of Oct. 22. and I have by the present post inclosed to Colo. Gamble Mr. Vaughan’s order on John Hopkins for 250. dollars payable to Colo. Gamble for your account. This is an advance of Mr. Vaughan’s, as the sales of your effects hitherto have been absorbed by the payment of duties, freight and other charges. I shall not fail to have the remittances made to you...
I have engaged Mr. Vaughan to make an advance of a second sum of 250. dollars, an order for which on Mr. Hopkins I inclose to Colo. Gamble by this post. This makes up the sum which your note to me expressed as necessary for your present accomodation. For the residue you will have to wait not only till these sums are replaced, but till the sales beyond that shall be effected. The assortment was...
By some accident your favor of Nov. 19. did not come to my hands till the 8th. inst. In the mean time I had on the 22d. of Nov. inclosed a second order from Mr. Vaughan to Colo. Gamble for another 250. D of which I wrote you advice on the same day and have Colo. Gamble’s acknolegement of the receipt dated the 4th. of Dec. Mr. Vaughan has promised me for to-day or tomorrow a note of the best...
