2From Thomas Jefferson to Ferdinand Grand, 22 October 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
You spoke to me some days ago on the subject of the bills which Mr. Barclay might have occasion to draw on Mr. Adams. I informed you they were good and would assuredly be paid. I ought to have added that a Mr. Lambe would have bills to negociate on Mr. Adams which would be drawn in the name of a Mr. Randall. These will be equally good, the whole being for the service of the United states in a...

5From Thomas Jefferson to Ferdinand Grand, 28 December 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
It will be in good time if I receive the crowns to-day, tomorrow, or even the next day. I did not answer in the instant the letter you favoured me with yesterday , because I wished to reflect on the article of seeds for Dr. Franklin, on which you were pleased to ask my opinion. We import annually from England to every part of America garden seeds of all sorts. You may judge therefore that...

I am honoured with your letter of yesterday on the subject of the accounts of the United states and of Virginia.

Mr. Rutledge, who has the honor of being known to you, and who is the son of my very particular friend, has occasion for 20 or 25 guineas.
