91Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 28 August 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
At the time of writing my letter of the 16 th I expected I was wrong as to the 330.D. and had I thought of looking to the preceding quarterly account, I should have seen that I was wrong . however all is now right: I inclose you a check on the Farmer’s bank for 1059. D 66 C which please to recieve and place to my credit in your account. I shall within a few days have to draw on this deposit as...
92From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 27 March 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
Some boxes of philosophical apparatus are arrived at Richmond for the University in the care of Mess rs Warwicks. a paper is sent me to be signed entirely unconformable to the facts of the case, the awkwardness of which perhaps you can relieve by verbal explanations. I therefore trouble you with the papers open, to be perused, delivered and accomodated. The boxes must come indispensably by...
93From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 30 October 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
My former shipments: of flour were 33. & 50. barrels and by a waggon so a fortunate rain enabled me to ship the day before yesterday 235. more. altho this may not place enough in your hands to pay mr Barret 750.D. yet I must pray you to do it as soon as the flour is sold. I do not draw an order, but I write to inform him that you will do it as soon as my flour is sold, and he will call on you...

It was not till yesterday that I could get a 3 d witness to the inclosed deed . the intenseness of the weather has prevented me from going from home. you will observe it is not recorded. this ceremony is unpleasant, the deed is good without it between the parties & those claiming under them, and against creditors where there are other assets. the subsequent purchaser without notice can alone...
95From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 23 January 1824 (Jefferson Papers)

By a letter from Cap t Miller of Norfolk of Feb. 16. he informed me he had put on board the steamboat for me ten gross of corks to your address. not having heard of them I am afraid the steamboat has never delivered them. in the mean while the season is so far advanced and advancing that I fear I shall lose my whole year’s stock of ale and cyder by too late bottling. if the corks are arrived I...

100From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 21 February 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
Your very kind letters, with those of other friends were real soothers of a kind of uneasiness I never had before experienced, which was the greater as the less expected. a majority of one in the legislature of my native state was an appalling idea. but it has ended well, and I count on days and nights of quiet which I had never seen since the coup de grace given me by a deceased friend. I...
101Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 18 September 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
After so many kind services as I have recieved from you, & so many testimonies of kind dispositions, it would seem unreasonable to press further on them. and yet to whom but a friend can we apply in distress? I have a note of 3000.D. in the Farmer’s bank which was endorsed for me by Col o Nicholas . a different endorser is now called for, and I am told it must be a town endorser. mr Gibson...

Your’s of the 11 th did not come to hand till last night. to have been a fortnight on the way proves great negligence on the way, which was not at the post office here, as I well know. you say you feel great embarrasment at asking my sollicitations for you at the seat of government . feel none, my dear Sir; there is nothing within my power which I am not ready to do for you, and I should be...
103From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 3 July 1824 (Jefferson Papers)
My neighborhood debts having run up to 175. D. I have this day drawn on you for that sum in favor of Jacobs & Raphael. I fear my arrears with you are become considerable.

105From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 17 May 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
I have so entirely left all my affairs to Jefferson that I know almost nothing of them. I am uninformed whether our tob o from Bedford is all down or our flour from here. before he went away, I stated to him that we should have to make the ordinary and current call on you. he told me I might do it, as he had made provn with you on that subject. my quarterly bills are now due and must be drawn...

111From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 5 January 1824 (Jefferson Papers)
I rec d yesterday your favor of the 1 st it is truly mortifying that whilst I was trespassing on you to such an amount, I should have had flour lying for 5. months in our way in the mill off t to have protected you from a single Dollar’s advances, could we have gotten it down. the drought of the season was one obstacle, but the faithlessness of the boatmen as great a one, my overseer is now...
112Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 11 April 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved in due time your favor of Mar. 30 . and on reconsideration of the subject, have changed my mind. while I lived in Washington I recieved sample of wheat from Chili , which I gave to mr Divers to take care of. it proves not so productive as our own but whiter than the whitest of the May wheat . at the next harvest I will get mr Divers to prepare half a dozen barrels of that

Having occasion to make a remittance to mr Appleton of Leghorn I desired Jefferson to make provision for a sum of 500. D. which I then thought would be suffic t and he informed me that I might accdly apply to you to procure such a bill for me. but I find it will require 550.
