1From Thomas Jefferson to Willink, Van Staphorst & Hubbard, 9 April 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly received your favor of the 2d. instant, and a few hours before I had received one from the Treasury board settling for us the order in which the monies of the last loan shall be paid. This takes a middle ground, ordering, according to your wish, the paiment of the interest for the ensuing month of June in the first place, and then ensures to the particular purpose committed to me...
2From Thomas Jefferson to Willink, Van Staphorst & Hubbard, 3 May 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of April 16. covering bills to the amount of 15,500 florins came duly to hand, and should have been sooner acknoleged but that I wished at the same time to acknolege their actual paiment. I am now enabled to do this on information of yesterday from Mr. Grand’s office as to the three bills which were already due, and that the fourth will be paid as soon as due. I am happy that the...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Willink, Van Staphorst & Hubbard, 3 August 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I received with pleasure your favor of the 27th. July and immediately took measures for beginning the particular business confided to me by Congress, and for which the sum of 30,000 florins is destined. Within about three weeks I shall be possessed of such information as will enable me to decide on the disposal of the money. In the mean time you will be pleased to keep it in your hands.—With...

The present serves to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 10th inst. inclosing bills to the amount of one hundred and sixty nine thousand seven hundred and eighteen livres sixteen sous, which I immediately endorsed to Messrs. Grand & co. for negotiation, and to be paid by them to the foreign officers. I expect within a few days to be able to decide what is to be done with the 30,000...

6From Thomas Jefferson to Willink, Van Staphorst & Hubbard, 9 September 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Having received at length the leave of absence which I had asked, I wait now only for a vessel bound from some port of France to the United states; so that I may with some confidence expect to leave this within a fortnight or three weeks. You were so kind as to send me a list of the bills I had drawn on you to the 1st. of April inclusive. I must now beg the favor of you to send me a list of...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Willink, Van Staphorst & Hubbard, 17 September 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I think myself tolerably certain of leaving this place on the 27th. or 28th. instant. The business for which the 30,000 florins were destined is now in a train of negotiation so that I will ask the favor of you to remit it here in good paper no matter whether at short or long sight, as it will be some time before the money will be wanted. Make it paiable if you please to Mr. William Short, who...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Willink, Van Staphorst & Hubbard, 25 September 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
The continued fall in the public stocks of this country, the incertainty where this may end, and how far the fortune of individual bankers may be involved induce me to wish that any part of the thirty thousand florins not yet sent forward by you in consequence of my letter of the 9th inst. may be retained in your hands till further order from Mr. Short or myself: only be pleased to observe...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Willink, Van Staphorst & Hubbard, 14 October 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
No vessel offering from any port of France I have been obliged to come over to England for one. This, with already a long detention by contrary winds, and some exaction from the necessity I have been under to take a particular ship, or lose my passage this season, will occasion the amount of my expences to be considerably over the sum of twelve thousand livres which I had named to you as the...
10From Thomas Jefferson to Willink, Van Staphorst & Hubbard, 21 October 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
My last letter written to you a few days ago informed you that my draughts on my departure would be greater than I had formerly given you reason to expect. I have this day drawn one bill on you for £210. sterling in favor of Mr. Auldjo or order, and have sent to Messrs. Grand & co. a letter of credit desiring you to answer their bill for two thousand eight hundred florins banco, which demands...
