From Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 27 May 1805
Washington May 27. 05
Messrs. Gibson & Jefferson
Having to remit the sum of 100. D. to Mr. John W. Eppes, and not certain of the safety of the post between him and Richmond, I have thought it better to deposit the sum with you subject to his order. I therefore inclose you a postnote of the Richmond bank in favor of W. A. Burwell & indorsed by him to yourselves, which be pleased to recieve & pay to the order of mr Eppes. Accept my friendly salutations.
Th: Jefferson
