45To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 28 May 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I am astonished that the shipwreck’d articles have not yet arrived; as the person who took charge of them, promised soon after the date of my last to you on the subject, to forward them as soon as possible to Norfolk, where orders were lodged for them to be sent up by the first opportunity. I suppose you may calculate upon receiving those articles which will not sustain injury by salt water;...

I have since my last received your favors of the 3d. & 8th—Hollo day to whom you allude has been dead for some time.

49George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 1 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Lest your failing to forward a note in time to renew yours in the bank should occasion you some uneasiness, I have concluded to inform you that it has not been attended with the smallest inconvenience: the situation of G & J’s account in the bank at this time being such, as to enable them to raise the money by putting in their own note. Had it been at all important, I should probably have...
