1From Thomas Jefferson to James Brown, 3 January 17[90] (Jefferson Papers)
I received duly your favor of Dec. 21. and with it the several articles noted to be sent therewith, except No. 1. a box of wine.

As I shall shortly set out for Virginia, and shall have occasion there for some necessaries, I take the liberty of stating them herein, and of asking the favor of you to send them to me by the first conveyance after the reciept of this.

A former letter to Mr. Andrew Donald having miscarried, perhaps from a wrong address, as I know not his residence, I take the liberty of putting the inclosed under cover to you and asking the favor of your care of it as it is of some importance.—My information from Marseilles is that wheat finds a good market there, and will do so till harvest.

I gave to Mr. Donald the only list of the tobacco sold him which I possessed, and tho I had left directions to procure me another from the Lynchburg warehouse, it has not yet been done. From a general recollection of the...

I left directions that as soon as our wheat shall be sold, the sum of fifty pounds Virginia currency be paid to you on account. I am with great esteem Dear Sir Your most obedt. humble...
