51To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 8 March 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I forwarded some days since the remainder of the nail rod , & the hoop-iron, received some time ago. I likewise forwarded by C. Becks’s boat 31 packages lately received from George Town & Alexandria, together with a Hhd of Molasses & the 3 Casks Cyder. I could not conveniently get the Molasses caskd, and therefore sent it without, supposing Becks to be perfectly honest, and very careful. I...
52To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 March 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I duly received your favor of the 5th. inclosing 1000$, with which I have taken up your dft in favor of Craven Peyton for that sum. the box you mention after the most shameful neglect was sent to Norfolk to be forwarded on to Washington. I hope it has before this arrived there. The iron from Phila. has arrived. the Wine from Baltimore has not. I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble servt. RC ( MHi );...
53To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 18 April 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I found on my return home after an absence of several weeks, that your quarterly account had not as usual been forwarded. You will now find it inclosed, observing a balance in favor of G. & J. of £29.16.6 The amount which you had directed to be paid to Moran, had been paid to his order a few days previous to the receipt of your letter giving information of the error in his account. it was paid...
54To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 27 April 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 24th. and to inform you that only four Hhds of your Tobacco have yet come down. I think it probable that if it were now here, it would command 7$:—the current price however is only about 33/. there being a much greater difference made this year on account of the quality than was ever known. I imagine that you must know it could not be sold...
55To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 31 May 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
The last of your Tobacco, excepting the light hogshead, which I suppose will not come to us arrived to day. I am very apprehensive that the heavy rains we have lately had may have injured it. I have been making some little inquiry to day, and am doubtful whether the price of seven dollars can be now obtained without opening it, or at least a few Hhds.—the noise which was made by M. & F....
56To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 16 June 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 8th. inclosing manifests for 29 Hhds Tobacco was duly received. The Tobacco is not yet sold. the price at which I hold it is 7½$—I have received no offer for it, but have been told by several persons that they should be glad to purchase it if I would take a more reasonable price. I think I could now get 7$—but as the last advices from Europe are more favorable than they have...
57To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 3 August 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I had previous to the receipt of your favor of the 23d. forwarded all the articles therein mentioned except the fish, which have not yet arrived.—the cask of oil which you say is missing was forwarded the 6th. of June by Mr. Higganbothams Harry , for which I inclose you his receipt.—the oil you will observe is not particularly specified, the rect. being for 6 barrels & one box; I therefore...
58To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 10 August 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I am very sorry that I was so remiss, as to delay looking out for the wood screws until I had an opportunity of sending them; as I ought to have foreseen there was a possibility at least; of my not being able to procure such as you required and so it has turned out—there are none at all in the whole City with round heads except some few of brass, and they are much too large. I found some few...
59To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 14 September 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
A waggoner has called with your memorandum. I expect to day to forward by him 32 bars of Iron, & nine boxes; instead of 6 as you expected. The window glass & sheet-iron have not arrived; nor has a box of screws which Mr. Barnes informed me about a week ago he had forwarded by the preceding stage. I have informed him of their miscarriage, but fear he may not be able to replace them in Geo....
60To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 21 September 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
You will before this, have found that I was disappointed in forwarding the articles mentioned in my last . The Waggoner who brought your note having failed to call again, although he promised positively to do so; and altho’ we supposed he had engaged as positively with you to carry them. I conclude he must have got an extra price for taking some other loading. If the River continues low be...
