Having been about to leave Town for two or three weeks and having been desirous previously of disposing of your Tobacco—I was to day induced to offer it at 42/., altho’ I did once hope, I might have done something better with it. even that however I could not obtain—partly I believe in consequence of late advices from England, which are somewhat unfavorable; those from France however I did...
72To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 18 May 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I have since my last received your favors of the 3d. & 8th—Hollo day to whom you allude has been dead for some time. If Henderson were a person in whose correctness I placed confidence, I would without waiting to hear from you again have the mill-stones valued; but knowing him as I do, I apprehend if he were pleased with the valuation he would abide by it, and if not, would say, he had not...

I forward your account inclosed—from which there appears to be a balance due us of £203.11.8. The Coal which you desired me to send you, I have ordered .—I apprehend however there may be some delay, as there probably may be some difficulty in procuring a vessel, and Coal is likewise very scarce . The blinds I find are not yet forwarded, which now I suppose we need not hurry ourselves about. I...

I am duly favor’d with yours of the 8th. I find that we paid as you state, to W. Irvine, on the 23d. of March 1803, for your order in favor of Joseph Moran, $:98—. Upon referring to your letter of the 8th. of February preceding, I find, that after advising us of several drafts you had made on us (among the number one in favor of Jos.

76To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 12 October 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
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...
77To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 15 November 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I am duly favor’d with yours of the 10th. inclosing 200$.—The Coal should have been purchased on time as you desired, but Heth & Nicolson (the latter) knowing it must be had, said they could only sell for Cash; although under other circumstances, they would gladly I am confident, have furnished it on the terms proposed. It cost 18 Cents, shipping charges $1.83=$199.83. I am Dear Sir Yr. Very...

I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble servt. RC...
79To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 22 December 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I received last night your favor of the 19th. and have to day delivered the letter which it contained to Wm. Brown & Co, and accepted your dft in their favor payable the 14th. of February for $416. We would quite as soon you would at any time draw on us in this way as not, provided you would insert in the draft payable in United States Bank notes . As our bank does not receive the notes of any...
80To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 5 February 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
The Pipe of wine about which you some time ago made enquiry , together with sundry other articles shipped from Philadia. so long ago as about the middle of Decr. in the schooner Caroline, arrived here only a few days past; in consequence of the Vessel having sustained so much injury in a gale of wind as to be obliged to stop at Norfolk to be repaired, together with her having been since...
