57Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 22 May 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
According to the notice in yours of the 16 th I now inclose blank notes for renewal in the banks. It was very unfortunate that the offer for my tobacco at Lynchburg was not accepted the sale at Richmond having yielded (after taking off the water carriage) but 5 ½ Doll. instead of 8 ½ at Lynchburg . it seems that the quality of that tob o is more prized there than at

63Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 15 November 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
I was so much engaged for some time before I left Monticello that it quite escaped me that my note in the Virginia bank must be near it’s term of renewal: and the failure occurs to me here where I have not your letter to remind me either of date or sum. thinking it must be over a thousand dollars I inclose you a note with a blank for the odd hundreds as well as for the date. by my last...
64Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 27 January 1821 (Jefferson Papers)

I have duly recieved your favor of the 17 th and the account stating a balance in my favor of 39.67 and am glad to learn the rise in the price of flour. this is the more important as the quantity will be less & the quality worse. there will not be half a crop made in this part of the country.

72From Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 22 February 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 8 th has been rec d as was in due season. the former one to which you observe you had rec d no reply, the fact was that I had worn out the knees of my pantaloons in the humiliating posture of an eternal suppliant at the feet of the govmt begging favors for others. I became tired of it, and thought ought at length to pay some respect to my own character and to rise from the...
