394Thomas Jefferson to Craven Peyton, 10 January [1810] (Jefferson Papers)
You proposed to me at court the hiring one of the shoemakers of your late brother , which at that time I declined. I will now however be willing to take him and should prefer having the one which can sew the neatest. I really think the house, garden E t c at Bunker’s hill rents too low. it cannot be worth less than 50.D and I suppose that this is the time for fixing it’s rent at a proper...

Your favor of Dec. 24. did not get to hand till the 3 d inst. and I return you my thanks for the garden seeds which came safely.

399Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Thweatt, 13 January 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favors of Dec. 28 . & Jan. 4. have been duly recieved. I had not recollected the admission of the will in the bill. this however I presume they would be permitted to correct by amendment if it were found they had done it against the fact. but their quotation gives me a hope the will is recorded, as I know not how else they could have a copy. There was a compleat set of accounts current...
