1From Thomas Jefferson to Eli Alexander, 15 December 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
A debt which has been contracted with mr Higgenbotham in my absence, has obliged me to assign to him my rents in Albemarle as they become due. I have hoped that by apprising you of this you might be able so to arrange your dealings with him as to have the paiment made convenient to you. I have informed him that your rent for 1807. is but 160. D. I tender you my best wishes. MHi : Coolidge...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Eston Randolph, 28 September 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Higginbotham presses me for the paiment of which your rent was to make a part. as soon therefore as your convenience admits I would sollicit the paiment, to be made to him. I would not urge it but that he has been entitled some time to expect it of me. I salute you with affection esteem MHi : Coolidge Collection.
