Sir
Your letter of the 6th. has been duly recieved. I have spoken with Capt Andrews & undertaken to pay him his demand on you three weeks hence, which he says will perfectly answer his purpose. it was £67. 13. 14 New York currency = 169D. 14c and not Virginia currency as you had supposed. this paiment will be carried to my credit in your account. Accept my best wishes
Th: Jefferson
