We refer to what we wrote you by Capt. Aselby who we have this day an account is safe arrived with you. We are since without any of yours. We made £1000 Insurance on 100 hhds Tobacco by the Planter Capt Cawsey but by Mr. Evans’s list we find you have only 76 hhds on board. We shall therefore get a return for the short Interest. We wish we could advise you of his being arriv’d but as yet we...

Our Friends Messrs.

4V. Farell & Jones to Wayles & Randolph, 6 April 1772 (Jefferson Papers)
We wrote you the 3rd February by the York that we had engag’d with our Friends Messrs. John Powell & Co: for the Consignment of an African ship to your address, which we now confirm. At that time it was uncertain which ships would go to Virginia, but by Letters from the Coast we find the Hungerford Capt. Robe will be detain’d there so long that she cannot get to the West Indies before the 10th...
5X. Farell & Jones to Richard Randolph, 18 February 1773 (Jefferson Papers)
We have before us your favors of the 10th Septemr. 3. 24 and 30 Decemr. and agreeable to your orders we made the following Insurances: The Prince of Wales arrived here a few days ago and we believe the Owners are satisfied that you have done your utmost in the Sale of her Cargoe.

7XIII. Farell & Jones to Thomas Jefferson, 30 July 1773 (Jefferson Papers)
It is with great concern we have heard from Mr. Evans of the Death of our worthy Friend Mr. Wayles. We wrote him by the Virginian Capt.

As we apprehend you are Executor to his Will, we shall hope to hear from you soon and that the same Friendly and uninterupted Correspondence will subsist between us, as...
8XIV. Farell & Jones to Richard Randolph, 30 July 1773 (Jefferson Papers)
We wrote you fully by the Virginia since which we have none of your favors. We did intend sending Capt. Aselby [about] the middle of next Month as usual with our Friends Goods, but having an opportunity of sending those that will be wanted for their Negroes Cloathing, we think it best to keep him at home 2 Months longer, by which means his Cargoe of Tobo. will arrive more cool and saleable in...

We wrote you the 30th. July and are now to advise you of the safe arrival of the Virginian Capt.
