Also among TJ’s papers is Dougherty’s invoice for stable expenses from 31 Mch. to 26 Apr. 1804. Charges were itemized as 25 cents for “a piece of old net,” $2 for new shoes for “ramolus” and “octuris,” 62½ cents for a “Curriecomb” and brush, $1.50 for a sponge, $9.06½ for 17 bushels of oats at a rate of 4 shillings a bushel, and $52.78 for a load of hay at $2 per hundredweight, all totaling $66.22 (MS in MHi; in Dougherty’s hand and signed by him acknowledging payment; endorsed by John Barnes as paid on 26 Apr. 1804).

During the period covered above, TJ recorded in his financial memoranda multiple payments to Dougherty for stable expenses (MB description begins James A. Bear, Jr., and Lucia C.
