1From Thomas Jefferson to John Hankart, 28 June 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved yesterday only your favor of the 18th. my whole crop of tobo. was put into the hands of my agent at Richmond (being about 45,000. ℔) who in his last letter informed me he was about to sell it at 7½ Dollars the hundred, and I presume it is actually sold, as I had desired it should be. were it still on hand I could not withdraw a few hogsheads from it without greatly injuring the sale...
