11From Thomas Jefferson to James Lyle, 20 January 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
It was fully my expectation, and you had a right to expect that I should have paid you 1000. D. in the course of the last summer, but the resource for that paiment was unavoidably taken up by another call. my tobacco of the last year is now either arrived or arriving at Richmond consigned to messrs.
