12Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Eston Randolph, 20 October 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
The account rendered to-day is perfectly satisfactory, as the not having known of the 9. barrels of family flour subsequent to the last account , had alone excited doubt and a wish for you to examine it.

Randolph , was correct, and reduced our balance to 176.26½ D since that, having occasion to pay mr Fagg 49.58 D and not having the money, he told me it was due to you, & that an order on you would answer his purpose, which accordingly I gave him, & it...

I recieved yesterday an alarming account of the of danger there is of the mill floors being crushed down by the weight with which they are now loaded.

Your’s of yesterday was recieved last night. you need take no trouble about the flour balance, till you have it of your own; and as to the damaged 27. barrels I mean to bear my own part of that misfortune, so that you have nothing to make up on that account.

Yours of the 8 th was duly recieved. on the question of any suspension of current rent the facts are very simple. the sinking of the floor of the mill house which was within my care and responsibility having deranged the boulting geer which was under yours, I thought myself bound to repair it. and accordingly Gilmore , at my expence, put it into as perfect order as it ever had been, and I...

19Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Eston Randolph, 28 March 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 20 th has been a week getting to my hands. I am sorry that mr Colclaser , after the pointed assurances I gave him, should still have doubts about the work at the mill. I will not suppose he doubts my intention and he could not have doubted the means had he calculated. for what is to be done? the lower broadside of the house is to be secured by from coming further out from...

As mr Randolph and yourself have the Shadwell mill in partnership this year and the details of it’s business, on account of his absences, will chiefly fall on you, I submit to you the following considerations as to the rent. while Shoemaker held the mill the rent was fixed in money at 1280.D. a year payable quarterly. when mr Randolph and M c kinney took it they wished it to be fixed in flour...
