Sir
I recieved by our last post your favor of the 15th informing me you had sent on the oil & paint requested, and stating the amount 72.D. I accordingly now inclose you US. bank bills for 70.D. and for want of smaller, I have desired my grandson Th:J. Randolph to call on you and pay the additional 2.D. on his arrival in Philadelphia, and I pray you to accept my thanks with my respectful salutations.
Th: Jefferson
