To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 12 October 1804

From George Jefferson

Richmond 12th. Octr. 1804.

Dear Sir

I inclose you Capt. Wingets receipt for 1100 bushels of Coal, being so near the quantity you want, that we thought it best not to wait for a Vessel that would carry exactly what you require.

Heth & N. inform me it is taken away from the yard as fast as they can get it down—which causes that now sent to be not so large as usual; as they have but very little out of which to choose.

I am Dear Sir Your Very humble servt.

Geo. Jefferson

RC (MHi); at foot of text: “Thomas Jefferson esqr.”; endorsed by TJ as received 16 Oct. and so recorded in SJL. Enclosure not found.

Heth & N.: Henry Heth and Andrew Nicolson, who operated a coal business in Manchester, Virginia (Richmond Enquirer, 28 Sep. 1810; Vol. 35:233n).
