551George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 22 September 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you the terms of tuition at M r Girardin ’s Academy, which you will find to be 50 $ ⅌ annum, for a student who is even taught mathematics only: and which, (not that I know any thing about it) appears to me to be very high. I am sorry that I have not been able to procure such a situation in a private family for T.J.R. as you wish.— There are but few French families here in which it...

At a late meeting of the James River company they directed their Treasurer to return one fourth of the 30 dollars ⅌ share which has been borrowed from the members of the company; the Interest on which will stop tomorrow—You will therefore be intitled to draw on account of Mr. Shorts 33 shares $:247.½, exclusive of Interest to this time.

553To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 31 May 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
The last of your Tobacco, excepting the light hogshead, which I suppose will not come to us arrived to day. I am very apprehensive that the heavy rains we have lately had may have injured it. I have been making some little inquiry to day, and am doubtful whether the price of seven dollars can be now obtained without opening it, or at least a few Hhds.—the noise which was made by M. & F....
554George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 20 November 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
I have sold your Tobacco to Samuel Myers at 39/6 at 60 days, having had it reviewed, which I found absolutely necessary, as some persons who saw it inspected, said it was of so inferior a quality, that I found I could not otherwise get an offer for it.—I should have done better with it, (Tob o having risen) but most of the stemmed part was very ordinary indeed. You will receive an account of...

You will probably have heard before this reaches you, of my appointment as Consul to Lisbon . I have not yet received the Commission, and hope that the hurry after the close of the Session may cause it to be delayed, until I shall have time to hear from you in reply to this letter: as it would be with extreme reluctance that I should decline accepting of an appointment, obtained by your kindly...
556George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 16 May 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
We have received since my last 6 Hhds of your Tobacco.—although it arrived last week, there has been such a quantity coming in, that I was not able to get it inspected until to day.—I am very sorry to inform you that it is so indifferent, I could not get an offer for it at all, the whole of the principal purchasers saying it would not suit them at any price.—one declared it not to be worth...

Your favor of the 9th. is received. the chairs you mention were not inserted in the bill of lading with the other articles, unless they were for Colo. Saml. Cabell which I do not suppose; the same number came for him to the care of Mr. Brown, and were included in our bill of lading—but they were particularly stated in it to be for him, and were besides directed to him on the bottoms. I...

As I suppose you will have to give Mr. Hawkins some instruction respecting the Piano, I think it unnecessary myself to write to him, and therefore inclose the bill of loading to you, which you will of course forward. I likewise inclose you a bill of loading for the box mentioned in my last . I am Dear Sir Your Very humble servt. RC ( MHi ); at foot of text: “Thomas Jefferson esqr.”; endorsed...
