I have between 4. & 500. barrels now in Richmond , & not a barrel sold. I have desired mr Gibson to hold up for 7.D. thro’ this month, but then to sell for whatever he can get. the moment I hear from him that he...

Dollars to cover this and the two sums of 60.D. and 23.D. which you were so kind as to furnish mr Goodman with.

On On recurring to my papers I found f a me m orandum of the bond which I suppose mr Garland had left with me; but into which, as I was not ready to pay I imagine I did not look, not doubting the tha t the accounts he gave me, among which this was, were all right. among my papers at home I expect I shall find the accounts on which it was founded. my error had been in supposing that all had...
6Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Robertson, 21 June 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
My flour of the last year being still unsold, I have said nothing to you yet on the subject of a payment out of it. but I have desired mr Gibson not to keep it on hand after the last of this month, but to take whatever he can then get for it. what that will be I know not: tho’ probably but little, and the drought of the last summer reduced the quantity one half. the same cause having destroyed...

I had to pay in this neighborhood a sum of between 13. and 1400 D. and came prepared to do it with Treasury bills; but the creditor refuses to recieve them without a discount of 3. per cent; this neither my principles as a citizen, nor my opinion of the comparative solidity of Treasury & bank bills permit me to yield to. I am informed there is a probability that there may be merchants in...

Having some plantation debts to discharge here amounting to about 240.D. I have this day written to mr Gibson to remit it that sum and believing it would come safer under your address than if inclosed to mr Goodman directly, I have taken the liberty of desiring mr Gibson to inclose it to you, & have to ask the favor of you to recieve, and pay it when recieved to the order of Jeremiah A....

Yours of Feb. 21. has been duly recieved. I think in conversation with you at Lynchburg , I stated to you that on winding up my affairs at Washington I was obliged to apply to the bank of Richmond for a large sum, for which I pledged to my endorser my Bedford crops of tobacco, and that with what they had yielded the two preceding years, the crop now at market would clear me of the bank. that...
