Monticello Aug. 9. 08.
Messrs. Jones & Howell
I expect that mr Barnes on the 6th. inst. remitted you on my account two hundred & eighty two Dollars 67. cents now due for former supplies. I am to pray you now to send for me to the address of Gibson and Jefferson in Richmond two tons of nailrod assorted as usual, and 2½ hundred of bar iron of a tough quality. I salute you with esteem & respect.
Th: Jefferson
