To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 2 February 1802

From George Jefferson

Richmond 2d. Febr. 1802

Dear Sir,

I paid Doctor Currie agreeably to your direction 50$:—which however, he returned some days ago, as he said the referees for whom it was intended, refused to receive any compensation: he has lodged with me some papers respecting that business, of which I suppose he has informed you.

I paid Mr. Eppes some weeks ago on your account £16.4. with which I imagine he has acquainted you.

I am Dear Sir Your Very humble servt.

Geo. Jefferson

RC (MHi); at foot of text: “Thos. Jefferson esqr.”; endorsed by TJ as received 6 Feb. and so recorded in SJL.

Your Direction: see TJ to George Jefferson, 14 Jan. For the papers respecting the arbitration with David Ross, see James Currie to TJ, 27 Jan.

At the sale of his tobacco crop to McMurdo & Fisher in January 1801, TJ noted that 902 pounds of tobacco belonged to John Wayles Eppes, and he deducted £16.4.9 from the total sale price of £813.19.9 as Eppes’s share of the payment (MB description begins James A. Bear, Jr., and Lucia C. Stanton, eds., Jefferson’s Memorandum Books: Accounts, with Legal Records and Miscellany, 1767–1826, Princeton, 1997, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Second Series description ends , 2:1033).
