1From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 30 October 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
By a settlement between mr Wickam as agent for Walsh & Cary of London, & mr Eppes, mr Skipwith & myself as exrs of mr Wayles, a debt of his, due to Cary & Walsh was divided between us, each to pay one third part at certain instalments annually on the 19th. of July. we informed mr Wickam that as the payments would be made out of our annual crops, we should expect to be indulged so far as to...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 17 March 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknolege the reciept of your favor of Feb. 14. never was so unfortunate a slip made as mine with respect to my last year’s tobacco. I was offered in May 11. Dollars in Richmond; but believing it would be higher as usual in the fall, & unaware of the effect of the nonintercourse law, I refused it, and after keeping it and bringing it here, have only lately been able to sell it for 7....
3From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 10 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Mar. 29. is duly recieved and the object of the present is to answer your enquiries concerning mr Welch’s open account. consulting with the late mr T. Adams in 1774. about the importation of glass windows ready made & glazed for my house, he pressed me to address my commission to his friends Welch & co. I did so, making them a small shipment which turned out next to nothing,...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 28 January 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
The instalments for my tobacco, sold the last spring, did not come in finally till my arrival here, when a new circumstance appeared to be arising which called indispensably for some preliminary expences, and obliged me to throw the paiment which should have been made to you agreeably to my letter of the last summer , on a fund which does not come in till April. I now inclose you an order on...
5From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 26 January 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
The pressure of my business has put it out of my power sooner to acknolege the reciept of your favr of Dec. 9. I had for some time ceased to make partial paiments towards the debt due to mr Walsh , under the purpose, when I should touch it again, to make a compleat discharge of it. the state of things in England had made me suppose he would not be desirous of removing money from this to that...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 5 January 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of December 24. never came to my hands till last night. it’s importance induces me to hasten the answer. no one can be more rejoiced at the information that the legislature of Virginia are likely at length to institute an University on a liberal plan. convinced that the people are the only safe depositories of their own liberty, & that they are not safe unless enlightened to a...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 27 February 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Altho’ your letter of Jan. 15. was recieved soon after that date, it has not been in my power sooner to notice it; nor can I at this time do more than acknolege it’s reciept. my papers relative to mr Wayles’s debt to Robt. Cary & co. are at Monticello, to which place I make a short visit every spring in order to pay some attention to my private affairs. I shall go there in the ensuing month,...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 13 March 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 7th finds me still here, detained by the illness of mr T. M. Randolph. the warning for such a sum as 1000. D. is rather short for me. my funds here are always more than exhausted at the end of a session of Congress. but my crop of tobo. is arrived or arriving at Richmond. I had before desired mr Jefferson to turn it into money as soon as arrived. I expect daily to hear from...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 18 March 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
In my letter of the 13th. I informed you I expected my tobacco was arrived or arriving at Richmond, and that I would direct mr Jefferson to raise 1000. D. out of the first of it which should come to hand. I have just recieved a letter from him informing me it is not yet come down. my orders & the promises of my manager were such that I still hope a sufficiency will be down in time, as a single...
10Thomas Jefferson to Littleton W. Tazewell, 5 June 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter dated Apr. 29. never came to my hands till our last post of the 1 st inst. the research it desired has occupied some time. I am not in the habit of stating my accounts in a ledger, depending on a very exact entry of all pecuniary transactions in a journal. settling most things at short hand, this answers sufficiently; but in those of long standing the research becomes...
