72To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 18 May 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I have since my last received your favors of the 3d. & 8th—Hollo day to whom you allude has been dead for some time. If Henderson were a person in whose correctness I placed confidence, I would without waiting to hear from you again have the mill-stones valued; but knowing him as I do, I apprehend if he were pleased with the valuation he would abide by it, and if not, would say, he had not...

I forward your account inclosed—from which there appears to be a balance due us of £203.11.8.

76To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 12 October 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you Capt. Wingets receipt for 1100 bushels of Coal, being so near the quantity you want, that we thought it best not to wait for a Vessel that would carry exactly what you require. Heth & N. inform me it is taken away from the yard as fast as they can get it down—which causes that now sent to be not so large as usual; as they have but very little out of which to choose. I am Dear Sir...
