241To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 January 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
I was informed by Mr. Joseph Roberts in a letter of the 14th. ultimo that he had shipped on board the rising sun Capt. Adderson 120 bundles of nail-rod on your account.—I was informed some days ago upon enquiring after her, that there was a report she was lost, her hands having all deserted her—this report the norfolk paper by last post confirmed, as you will find from the inclosed. I have to...
242To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 27 March 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 20th. inclosing $:470– on account of Mr. Randolph; which with the two sums of which I have heretofore acknowledged the receipt , make $:1870– being within a trifle of the sum I advanced for him to Mr. Pickett. I am Dear Sir Your Very humble servt. RC ( MHi ); at foot of text: “Thos. Jefferson esqr. Philada.”; endorsed by TJ as received 3 Apr. and so...
243To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 10 September 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I sent you yesterday by Mr. Randolph’s boat, a cask, containing 3 dozen bottles of syrup of punch; supposing, as so immediate an opportunity offered, it might probably reach you in that way, nearly as soon as by the Stage. I forwarded likewise a box of fish, which we have but lately received from Mr. Crowninshield of Salem—having come in a tedious, & roundabout direction. Your last note of...
244To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 23 June 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
I have made enquiry respecting the price of flour at the time you mention & find that the highest current price was 6.½$: for fine & 7$: for supr. fine—Johnston sold a few barrels of S.F. to the bakers in Janr. 98 at 7.½$: but he does not conceive that to be the price by which you should be governed. we also sold a small quantity in the same way at the same price—10 barrels at a time was the...
245To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 28 April 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I yesterday sent you 3 bushels of potatoes by Mr. Randolph’s Ben.—there is not a keg of cranberries to be had in our poor City. I am Dear Sir Yr. Mt. humble Servt. MHi : Coolidge Collection.
246To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 16 June 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 8th. inclosing manifests for 29 Hhds Tobacco was duly received. The Tobacco is not yet sold. the price at which I hold it is 7½$—I have received no offer for it, but have been told by several persons that they should be glad to purchase it if I would take a more reasonable price. I think I could now get 7$—but as the last advices from Europe are more favorable than they have...
247To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 1 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Having but just returned home, after a longer absence than I had contemplated—and apprehending that you may be put to inconvenience from the long credit on which Mr. G. was induced to sell your Tobacco, in preference to reducing the price, I take the earliest opportunity of proposing, (as the notes he received I observe are not negociable at the Bank) that you send us your own notes made...
248To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 2 February 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I paid Doctor Currie agreeably to your direction 50$:—which however, he returned some days ago, as he said the referees for whom it was intended, refused to receive any compensation: he has lodged with me some papers respecting that business, of which I suppose he has informed you. I paid Mr. Eppes some weeks ago on your account £16.4. with which I imagine he has acquainted you. I am Dear Sir...
249George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 13 November 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Immediately on the receipt of your favor of the 31 st ultimo by T.J. Randolph , (with which however he did not call until Saturday) I waited on M rs Page , and to my surprise was informed, that she had not a spare room, having lately taken two young ladies to board with her during the winter: and that it was therefore out of her power to accommodate Jefferson , unless he could stay in the same...
250To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 24 February 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Anthony’s Clerk being at length instructed to receive the nailrod I inclose you his receipt for that which is delivered; the balance has not yet come down. I sent your letter to Mr. Eppes by the way of Petersburg having a few days previous to the receipt of it got one from him in which he desired me to write to him in that way; it is therefore unaccountable how he came not to get your...
251To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 1 December 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 22d. ultimo inclosing a letter for Doctor Bache was received here the 25th., but it so happened that it was filed away without my seeing it, and it was not until this morning a few moments before the closing of the Charlottesville mail, that I observed it. Having the day before yesterday received a letter from Dr. B. in which he informed me he had declined going by Norfolk as...
252To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 3 August 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I had previous to the receipt of your favor of the 23d. forwarded all the articles therein mentioned except the fish, which have not yet arrived.—the cask of oil which you say is missing was forwarded the 6th. of June by Mr. Higganbothams Harry , for which I inclose you his receipt.—the oil you will observe is not particularly specified, the rect. being for 6 barrels & one box; I therefore...
253To James Madison from George Jefferson, 8 January 1808 (Madison Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 4th. inclosing a check on the United States branch bank of Norfolk for $:68:50/ 100, which can without difficulty be negotiated through the bank here, and therefore is as convenient a remittance to me as you could have made. I could have drawn on you almost at any time for this sum, agreeably to your direction, but it was so inconsiderable that I delayed...
254To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 7 December 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
In reply to your favor of the 3d. I have to inform you that the 3 boxes of composition ornaments from Alexandria were received some time since, though not until some weeks after they were shipped—they are still here, as only one boat I believe has gone to Milton since their arrival, and that could not take them. there are likewise some sash-weights & cords, which came from Philadelphia; & also...
255To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 26 December 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
The note alluded to in your favor of the 20th. was presented to me for payment on the 16th. instant when it became due; as I concluded it had for the moment escaped your recollection, and that you would place funds in our hands in the course of a few days to retire it, I took it up. You may however consult your own convenience in reimbursing us, as we have no occasion whatever at this time for...
256George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 23 June 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
M r Venable has received notice from M rs Tabb that she will require her money at the expiration of the six months for which it was borrowed.—This will render it necessary for it to be procured from the bank.—As the sum is larger than M r V. wishes to ask for her in one day, I inclose you at his request two notes, which you will be pleased to sign & return, leaving the day of the month blank.—...
257To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 9 July 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I am much surprised at not having yet heard any thing of the order which you mentioned having sent me on Mr. Hopkins. I however suppose it cannot have miscarried, & therefore conclude that you must have directed it to be forwarded, & it has been delayed. Have the goodness if you please to send me an order by next post on the Inspectors at Shockoe for a Hhd: Tobo. of yours—I did not suppose as...
258To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 16 November 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
The mad-man Stewart is again here. he has called on me for $:105—which I was obliged to let him have, or I supposed suffer him to go to Jail. The Captains a/c against him for six passages &C. was $:75.—& he could not he said do with less than 30 in addition. on my asking him if he had an order he informed me that you told him your former letter was sufficient. Our friend in Petersburg has not...

Your favor of the 6th. inclosing a bill of lading for a quarter cask of wine for Mr. T.M.R. together with a bill of Exchange on James Govan for £100—Sterling for the use of Mr. Grymes’s son & daughters under the direction of Mr. E.

260To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 4 November 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
The two boxes of sheet iron are here. For want of water carriage, Mr. Graham some time since (I think he said at the request of one of your workmen) engaged a waggon to take them; but on measuring them, it was found they were too large for such a conveyance. I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble Servt. MHi : Coolidge Collection.
261George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 26 March 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
As your notes will fall due at the Bank on the 6 th & 13 th of next month, & as M r Venable prefers their being made into one I inclose one for your signature— not knowing whether
262To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 12 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
You will receive your account inclosed, made up to the end of the year; from which you will observe there was then an apparent balance in your favor of £1147–19–3. from this deduct £813–19–9 not due from M. & F. until the 1st. of April next, and the real balance which was then in our hands will be found to have been £333–19–6.

263To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 21 July 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to day received another dividend of 3 ⅌ Cent on Mr. Short’s James River shares, being $:198.—it is placed to the credit of Mr. Barnes, who shall be advised of it by tomorrows post.

264To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 26 March 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
Capt. Potter with the nail rods Molasses and seeds did not arrive here until the day before yesterday. I have this day sent up the seeds by a Waggon, & two Tons of the nail rod by a boat; the balance, and the Molasses, I expect to send tomorrow.

266George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 24 October 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Will you have the goodness to inform me if it will not be necessary, previous to my departure to Lisbon , to go to Washington ? It occurs to me that verbal as well as written instructions may be desirable. As yet I have received none, not even an intimation as to the bond which I observe the law requires. I would ask this information of M r Monroe , but I have been too decidedly hostile to...
267To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 16 March 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I have paid Colo Monroe $:153.33—he says there are no charges on the box, it being so small that the freight under any circumstances would have been scarcely any thing—but that he paid for his passage by the lump , having been left at liberty to bring what he pleased. the duty he has not paid, to which I will attend. I have forwarded the box by Wm Johnson, having gotten Oldham to put a...
268To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 5 February 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Pollard having returned only yesterday I to-day received of him on account of your order in favor of Mr. Barnes £127–16–8. Only 28 bundles of the half crown nail-rod is yet brought down; the balance being left on the way, the boatman having taken in an over-load. The balance I suppose will shortly be here. I have paid Mr. Thomas Gordon the sum you directed & am Dear Sir Your Very humble...
269To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 19 March 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I should sooner have acknowledged the receipt of your favor of the 12th. inclosing 435$.— I have likewise too long delayed informing you, that I do not suppose you could get groceries here on as good terms as you can in Alexandria; as our Grocers do not themselves import, but are supply’d from Norfolk Philadelphia & New York—where, or in Alexandria, I suppose you can procure them on as good...
270To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 18 January 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 12th. inclosing a Treasury draft for $:800—& an order on the Treasurer of the James River Company in favor of Mr. Barnes for whatever sums of principal or Interest there may be due from the company to Mr. Short, is duly received.
