From Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, [2]2 June [1798]

To Peter Carr

Philadelphia June [2]2. [1798]

Dear Sir

It is my expectation to leave this on the 25th. and to be at our July court. but something may very possibly arise which may keep me a few days longer. I must ask the favor of you therefore to press Kinsolving at court to pay up his balance, as I have considerable paiments to make immediately on my arrival at home. he may lodge the money with Colo. Bell. this being the last moment of the post I must refer you for news to mr Randolph to whom I have stated some interesting dispatches from mr Gerry. I am Dear Sir

Your affectionate friend & servt

Th: Jefferson
