404To Thomas Jefferson from Bernard Peyton, 14 February 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been grievd to hear from Jefferson of your bodily & mental afflictions, which I hope will be relievd in a great degree, speedily, by the passage of the bill now before the Legislature, granting you a Lottery, for the disposition of a part of your property, for the payment of your debts—on this subject I have conversd freely with the members of my acquaintance, & cannot entertain a doubt...
405To Thomas Jefferson from Bernard Peyton, 17 February 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
I have great pleasure in informing you that your bill was ordered to be engros d to=day by an overwhelming majority, a very few indistinct naes only heard, tomorrow it will pass without a division, & in the Senate the minority will be about four to six against it, probably none:—this will be cheering news to you I hope, & verify what I predicted in my last, that when understood, & reflected...
406To Thomas Jefferson from Bernard Peyton, 21 February 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
It affords me heart felt pleasure to inform you that your bill has passed the Senate, and is now a law of the Land—It was rec d in that body yesterday morning, read three times, (the rule of the House being suspended for the purpose) & passed forthwith, only four voting in the negative, (viz.)

407From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 21 February 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
Your very kind letters, with those of other friends were real soothers of a kind of uneasiness I never had before experienced, which was the greater as the less expected. a majority of one in the legislature of my native state was an appalling idea. but it has ended well, and I count on days and nights of quiet which I had never seen since the coup de grace given me by a deceased friend. I...

Some boxes of philosophical apparatus are arrived at Richmond for the University in the care of Mess rs Warwicks. a paper is sent me to be signed entirely unconformable to the facts of the case, the awkwardness of which perhaps you can relieve by verbal explanations. I therefore trouble you with the papers open, to be perused, delivered and accomodated. The boxes must come indispensably by...

413To Thomas Jefferson from Bernard Peyton, 12 April 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
The enclosed was sent to me, no doubt, thro’ mistake—I thank you for its contents, and regret the trouble you have been occasioned in relation to it. M r Madison has sent his Tobacco to this market for some years past, & may now be without an agent for the sale of it, & under that impression I offer my services to him:—his former agent, altho’ still living here, since his failure, will...
414From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 15 April 1826 (Jefferson Papers)

The balance of Trade being in favor of the North at present, we cannot obtain dfts: in that direction, I have however written to M r E.

417From Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 17 May 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
I have so entirely left all my affairs to Jefferson that I know almost nothing of them. I am uninformed whether our tob o from Bedford is all down or our flour from here. before he went away, I stated to him that we should have to make the ordinary and current call on you. he told me I might do it, as he had made provn with you on that subject. my quarterly bills are now due and must be drawn...
418To Thomas Jefferson from Bernard Peyton, 20 May 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 17th: is now before me. Your Tobacco from Bedford I have never yet heard from; I have rec d from Albemarle, since last fall, 430 Blls Flour on your a/c, and finding no prospect whatever of selling it here, to advantage, ship d it long since to the Eastward, where I hope it will yield you a better return than could possibly be anticipated here, if indeed a sale of it could have...

I expect to go up in the stage with this, on my way to Lexington for a week, & shall regret if I am unable to call on...
