35To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 24 October 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
You will find a bill of lading inclosed for 1050 bushels of Coal, which with 400 bushels for Mr. Madison, was as much as the vessel would carry.—3 or 400 bushels of the last put in, Mr. Nicolson informs me is entirely in lumps. Mr. M. and yourself had better therefore both begin to receive at the same time, so that each may get a proportion of it. I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble Servt. MHi :...

37To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I sent you yesterday by a Mr. Monroe, Randolph’s abridgment of the Virginia laws; I would have look’d out for an earlier opportunity but this Gentleman has had it in possession for about 3 weeks, and has been going from day to day ever since.

40To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 22 September 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
The long delayed (to say the least of it) business of the nail-rod is at last settled. Mr. Nicolson a few days ago paid me on account of it £20.19.3, which is something to be sure, better, than to have lost the whole. I have got 4 boxes of the ointment, and given them to the postrider. I am Dear Sir Your Very humble servt RC ( MHi ); at foot of text: “Thos. Jefferson esqr. Monticello”;...
41To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 11 January 1809 (Jefferson Papers)

43To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 4 November 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
The two boxes of sheet iron are here. For want of water carriage, Mr. Graham some time since (I think he said at the request of one of your workmen) engaged a waggon to take them; but on measuring them, it was found they were too large for such a conveyance. I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble Servt. MHi : Coolidge Collection.

47To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 6 July 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
An absence of some days from Town has prevented my sooner replying to your favor of the 29th ultimo.—It is seldom that any of the wines you mention are to be had here—and when to be had, must of course come higher, than they do in the Northern Towns; as we get our small supplies of those kinds entirely from thence, with the exception of a small proportion from Norfolk. I am Dear Sir Your Very...
48To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 31 October 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
The boxes alluded to in your favor of the 25th, were re-shipped to Baltimore on the 21st. Yr. Very humble Servt. MHi : Coolidge Collection.
49George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 12 March 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 7 th inclosing Mess rs Shoemaker & Son’s conditional dft on G. & J. for 200$.— As we have heard nothing of their flour, have never transacted business for them at all, and know nothing of them, except of their bad manageme n t at your mill, we of course cannot become responsible even for this small amount, until we have something actually in hand.— As...
50To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 11 February 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 7th. inclosing 75$—The coal you require shall be forwarded by the first opportunity; there are however but few vessels I believe, which go from here to Alexa. and fewer still to Washington. only 14 hhds of your Tobacco are yet down. the price now is from 6 to 7$ according to quality, or the opinion of it . I hope yours may be supposed to...
51George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 23 August 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
As it is very seldom that I see M r Randolph’s Harry , I must ask the favor of you to direct him to call for the negroes blankets.—They should have been sent up sooner, but the person of whom I bought them did not like to open a bale, for fear of the moth: he has lately been opening some, and called upon me to take yours away.—I had them baled up again, but not so securely perhaps that the...
52To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 18 November 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
I am duly favor’d with yours of the 15th. with the nine manifests therein mentioned; I am sorry they did not come sooner as the last of your Tobo. was shipped to day—13 Hhds: on board the Sloop Little Sam Capt. Dickey, & 13 on board the Sloop Nancy Capt. Oliphant—these with the six shipped to New York make up your quantity except one Hhd: which the Inspectors say is not in the warehouse...
53George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 4 July 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I only yesterday received your favor of the 24 th ultimo .—the note however was in time, but had one hour only to spare.— I suppose that your letters must have been too late for the mail, for the dft to M r Lyles dft Lyle has not yet appeared.— the one to M r Higginbotham did, in due time.
54To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 September 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I am by to-nights post favor’d with yours of the 5th. inclosing your dft: on Mr. Barnes for $:200— I am apprehensive that the only way of getting money for such drafts will be by sending them on to Mr. Barnes with directions for him to remit the amount in Bank notes—as no person will like to be at the trouble of sending them to George Town for acceptance, and then of forwarding them on to...
55To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 November 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 5th inclosing 300$: I now inclose you a bill of loading for 1300 bushels of Coal, & for five boxes some short time ago received from Monticello. At the same time that I gave an order for your Coal, I likewise gave one for about the same quantity for Mr. Madison, which I supposed would probably go in the same Vessel.—Will you be so...
56To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 March 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
This post has brought me yours of the 8th. Johnston has no nail rod of yours—the last he received for you he forwarded in November last. I had made this enquiry previously to my last , but omitted to inform you of it. That which was seen in his lumberhouse the first of February I expect belonged to a person of his name in this place, which he informs me was sent to him about that time by...
57To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 16 June 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I some days ago receive a number of packages for you from Mr. Barnes, and likewise a cask & two boxes which were not mentioned in the bill of loading; the whole of which I forwarded by Thos.

58To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 3 June 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 29th. is duly received. I will with much pleasure attend to the books at Mr. Wythes—I have as yet heard nothing of your negro—I have spoken to the Constables but they neither know him, or recollect having been desired to find him. I was in hopes Bob Hemmings knew something about him, but he does not—I have desired him to find out Mr. Whaley & to make enquiry, but as yet he...
59To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 March 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I forwarded some days since the remainder of the nail rod , & the hoop-iron, received some time ago. I likewise forwarded by C. Becks’s boat 31 packages lately received from George Town & Alexandria, together with a Hhd of Molasses & the 3 Casks Cyder. I could not conveniently get the Molasses caskd, and therefore sent it without, supposing Becks to be perfectly honest, and very careful. I...
60To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 December 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I am duly favor’d with yours of the 5th. inclosing 240$.— The box of glass from Boston is still here, scarcely any boats from Milton having come down for some time past.—The first eighty bundles of nail-rod you mention I have forwarded, supposing it would probably be immediately wanted.—The Mahogony has not yet arrived, nor have the books from Monticello. I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble servt. RC...
