16From Thomas Jefferson to Jones & Howell, 7 March 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of Feb. 22. was duly recieved and occasioned me great astonishment. Of the two debts of 268. D. each I was aware and had prepared to pay. but of that of 317.93 I had not the least recollection, & could not believe it but to be an error till I turned to my papers & found it real. I habitually note in a calendar of paiments to be made, all sums as soon as made known to me. how I...
17From Thomas Jefferson to Jones & Howell, 5 May 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose your letter of Sep. 7. 05 merely to shew the source of my error in supposing the sum of 317.93 instead of 349.93 was what should be remitted you. on recurring to this letter I saw at once that it was merely an error in carrying out the sums. the inclosed draught of the bank of the US. at this place on that at Philadelphia for 300. D. will exactly square our accounts. I have been...

20From Thomas Jefferson to Jones & Howell, 20 September 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I shall very shortly have occasion for a considerable quantity of sheet copper, proper for covering cornices & making gutturs, which I presume should be of the thinnest kind to be had. I think that what I purchased for those uses antiently did not weigh more than half a pound or thereabouts to the square foot. as the price of sheet copper to the square foot will determine me as to the quantity...
