11From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 26 March 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Immediately on the receipt of your favor of the 10th. which was not till the 20th. inst. I commenced an enquiry into the chances of getting Miss Hylton carried back under the care of some of the ladies who will be returning. The list stands as follows: Colo. and Mrs. Monroe return in their own chariot with a pair of horses, and three persons in the carriage. Mrs. Griffin does not return at...
12From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 17 March 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Haunted nightly by the form of our friend Hanson, and anxious to be clear of him, I could not avoid noticing the inclosed advertisement of Mr. Banks, and supposing it may be satisfied by mine for the sale of my Elk hill lands, which answer pretty well his demand. The sale of these lands would exactly complete the provision for the last shilling of Hanson’s demand. You can readily judge...
13From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 13 March 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of Feb. 12. and 19. have been duly received. Joseph arrived also, and I have forwarded the £4-19 say 16½ Dollars to Miss Hylton as you desired. I have concluded to have my tobo. of the last growth brought here also. It all comes from Bedford, and probably has begun to arrive at the warehouse. As Capt. Stratton plies regularly between Richmond and this place, and there will be...
14From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 5 February 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My letters to you are always letters of trouble. To lessen it I will omit all preface. Having occasion for a servant boy, who can shave, dress and follow me on horseback, and none such being to be had here, I have thought of a small French boy, Joseph, who came from Europe with Mr. Skipwith, lived sometime with Mr. Randolph my son in law, and is now with a barber in Richmond. I will thank you...
15From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 8 January 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Having occasion to remit the inclosed bill to Mr. Randolph, my son in law, and unwilling to trust it to the post between Richmond and Charlottesville, I take the liberty of depositing it in your hands, and of asking the favor of you to hold it till Mr. Randolph either calls for it, or gives an order. I have given him notice of this.—Your favor of Dec. 22. is come safe to hand. If there be but...
16From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 24 December 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Since mine to you of the 5th. yours of Nov. 12th. came to hand exactly a month after it was written. I have got the gentleman who purchased my tobacco to examine whether there was any which from it’s marks or other circumstances might not be mine. He says he was careful not to receive any but what was under my mark, that he has manufactured a part, and consequently cannot now reexamine the...
17From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 5 December 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I find that Capt. Stratton is arrived without bringing the residue of my tobo. of last year’s growth, which therefore delays the settlement and paiment for the whole crop. I must entreat you my dear Sir to send off this residue by the first vessel coming to this port, as the early setting in of the winter gives reason to expect the river will be soon blocked up, and it would be a serious...
18From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 10 July 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favour of May 29. came here after my departure on a journey to the lakes. That of June 17. is since recieved, and in consequence I send you a post-bank note for 21 D.-25. c. being the addition of 24/ to £5–3–6 as noted in your letter to be the probable amount of your disbursements for the 22. hhds. of tobo. forwarded by Capt. Stratton. He is not yet arrived. But the season admits of no...
19From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 15 May 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
By Capt. Stratton I have recieved the 4. hhds. of tobo. Among these is one of those which had been injured by fire, and serves sufficiently to shew that tobacco of that quality cannot be sold here at any price. I must therefore ask your particular attention that there be no more of the fired tobacco sent here. I understood there were about 14,000 ?., say 12 hhds. fired. Should there be no...
20From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel L. Hylton, 5 April 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of Mar. 12. came to hand a fortnight ago and having given me reason to expect that the bill of lading for the vis-a-vis would come within a post or two, I have delayed answering in order to make one job of it. But not recieving the bill of lading, I trouble you again to send it forward. In the mean time I had enquiry made at New York whether any such captain as Towles had arrived...
