31To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 3 May 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I have procured from Smithfield and have forwarded to Norfolk to be sent on to Mr. Barnes as before, six Casks containing six dozen hams; which from the character given them I hope may prove as good, as perhaps even Colo. Macons. The groceries, including a cask of wine from Norfolk, arrived a few days since; and were to day forwarded on to Milton, with 80 Bundles of nail-rod, & 8 of hoop-iron....
32To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 10 August 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I am very sorry that I was so remiss, as to delay looking out for the wood screws until I had an opportunity of sending them; as I ought to have foreseen there was a possibility at least; of my not being able to procure such as you required and so it has turned out—there are none at all in the whole City with round heads except some few of brass, and they are much too large. I found some few...

Mr. Oldham agreeably to your request has purchased the hinges &c. ordered in your favor of the ; except that he could find only one dozen of the largest. They shall be forwarded by the first opportunity. Should the River be too low for boats to come down before you will require them, you can direct them to go by the Stage. A Box of Candles, with a Cask containing Syrrup of punch, were...

35To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 13 June 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I have lately received from Lynchburg 100 Bbls of your flour.—35 bbls of it I have sold to John F. Robertson of Manchester at 4. ¼ $ at 60 days. I know but little of Mr. R., but he is to give Cornelius Buck of the same place as endorser. This sale I made, without knowing the flour was inspected in Lynchburg.—for the balance I could not obtain the same price, without having it reinspected here,...
36To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 20 August 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
G. Jefferson sends the box of hinges &c by the Stage agreeably to Mr. J’s direction. MHi : Coolidge Collection.
37To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 27 December 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I yesterday received your much esteemed favor of the 24th, and lost not a moment in ascertaining what could be done to relieve you from your present embarrassed situation. It is not I trust necessary for me to inform you, that I am always much averse to making professions of friendship, and of a desire to serve those I esteem—My character and disposition I hope being in some degree known to...
38To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 August 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Until the receipt of your favor of the 2d. I had entirely forgotten the case of St. George wine at Gordon’s.—On his informing me that you were to have one, I requested him to send it to our house, that it might certainly be recollected: and his promising to do so, I suppose caused me to cease to charge my memory with it, and thus it was forgotten altogether.—It shall now be forwarded by the...
39To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 September 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 5th having been misplaced at the post office, I did not receive it in time to make enquiry with respect to the value of Mr. Mazzie’s property.—I am perfectly willing to act under the power of attorney which you propose forwarding. I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble Servt. Will it not be best for your winters supply of Coal to be forwarded now, whilst vessels are to be procured...
40To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 November 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I am duly favor’d with yours of the 10th. inclosing 200$.—The Coal should have been purchased on time as you desired, but Heth & Nicolson (the latter) knowing it must be had, said they could only sell for Cash; although under other circumstances, they would gladly I am confident, have furnished it on the terms proposed. It cost 18 Cents, shipping charges $1.83=$199.83. I am Dear Sir Yr. Very...
41To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 3 April 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I yesterday forwarded the Cyder and Corks, together with some things written for by Mr. Randolph, at the request of your manager —by a boat belonging to one of the Faris’s . I observe in Mr. R’s list that the same number of Corks are mentioned as in yours; and as I expect they are intended for the same purpose, & bottles are not included in his—I hope they find that none will be required. I am...
42To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 30 September 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you a bill of loading for 1500 bushels of Coal, which Heth & N. contrary to their usual custom consented to have picked.

I duly received your two favors of the 6th. & 11th. the last inclosing 300$.—The charge of $29.67 is for the duty on the Mathematical instruments brought by Colo. Monroe.—The box about which Major Gibbon wrote to you, contains 52 prints of the natural bridge, by Mr. Roberts.—As Major G. did not hear from you, he called on me to have the box opened and valued, to ascertain the duty. The prints,...

47To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 January 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I have this instant returned from Williamsburg where I have been for some days, and find your favor of the 12th. inclosing a letter for Colo. Monroe. Mr. Gibson informs me that the one inclosed in your letter of the 10th. he forwarded on to N. York whither Colo. M. had gone the day previous to its receipt. As I think it probable however that he may make some stay in Washington, or at any rate...
48To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 22 October 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I duly received your favor of the 19th and have by to nights post written to our correspondent in Petersburg to make a purchase of the tobacco you require agreeably to your direction. for although it has got up there as I understand to 27/. yet I think it will more probably rise still higher than fall. Mr. Ashley of Norfolk informs me that he has forwarded you some Hams, which I hope will...
49To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 28 February 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I received some little time since from Messrs. E O Liveira Fernandez & Co. of Norfolk, two Hhds of bottled wine, which I have forwarded to Monticello, together with a hhd of Molasses, and 16 bottles (being all I could procure) of syrup of punch. I am sorry to inform you that 3 Hhds of your Tobacco were ducked a few days ago in a Mr. Burfords boat—and which evidently proceeded from...

Your favor of the 8th. is duly received. The letter which it inclosed for Mr. Craven Peyton, shall be held subject to his call.

52To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 2 April 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 24th ultimo inclosing the manifest of your Tobacco I have received. I have been endeavouring to make sale of the Tobacco, but as yet have not been able to do it at your limits; the most I am offered being 40/. on a credit of 120 days.—Impressions somewhat unfavorable with respect to the quality of your crop having been made on the minds of some persons who saw the duck’d...
53To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 7 April 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I am desired by Mr. Hanson to request that you will authorise some one to receive of him six bonds of yours which are discharged, as he intends in the course of next month to leave this Country for Europe. he says that he wrote to you upon this subject some time ago, and as he has not since heard from you, concludes his letter must have miscarried. I am Dear Sir Your Very humble servt. RC (...
54To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 26 June 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
Some more of your Tobacco having come down a few days since, I informed Mr. Lyle there was a sufficiency to pay him the sum which you directed, and that I would in the course of a few days make sale of it for that purpose; ever since which I have been endeavouring to effect a sale, but as no one seems disposed to give much above the common price without its being opened—purchasers generally...
55To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 7 October 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I received last night your favor of the 3d. and have in reply to inform you that the present price of Petersburg Tobacco is 4$:, to which it has risen within this week or two from 22/. As I understand the present growing crop will be a very short one, I do not suppose that it will be so low when it comes to market as the article is at this time; and I am therefore inclined to think that this...
56To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 March 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I duly received your favor of the 5th. inclosing 1000$, with which I have taken up your dft in favor of Craven Peyton for that sum. the box you mention after the most shameful neglect was sent to Norfolk to be forwarded on to Washington.

58To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 September 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I am duly favor’d with yours of the 8th., and shall endeavour to dispose of your Tobo. to the best advantage. I have not yet been offered more than 5 dollars, but shall not now be satisfied with that, as it is in rather more demand than it was when I last wrote to you on the subject. Whether it is sold or not however, you are at liberty to draw for the sum you require. In consequence of the...
59To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 9 May 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
In compliance with your direction I have for some days past been endeavouring to make sale of your Tobacco, but as yet have not been able to effect one. Mr. Rutherfoord who made the offer of 40/. at 120 days has made up his quantity, or else he says he would have taken it. I yet hope to obtain this price on a shorter credit. Not having met with a Vessel for Washington, I have sent your hams (9...
