After writing the inclosed letter of yesterday your’s of the 18 th came to hand, informing me of the proposed curtailments of the US. bank . until I recieve your answer to the inclosed I cannot make a correct estimate of my funds & engagements. yet certainly to meet the suddenness of the curtailment I must avail myself of the discount which Col o Nicholas supposes can be had, and which will...
32Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, 26 November 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
Your’s of the 11 th came to hand yesterday only. how it could have slumbered 15. days on the road is inexplicable but by great default. it happens in this case to produce no ill because on the day of the date of yours I had forwarded to you the notes desired, which you probably recieved a day or two after. I am really miserable at the state of our river , and the continuance of the most...
33Thomas 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...

The time for renewing my note in the bank of Virginia being at hand I now inclose one for that purpose. altho’ I believe it should have been filled up with the sum of 1378.D. I have left it blank for fear of error. as the US. bank does not require a tow n subscriber endorser I relieve you from continuing the indorsement on my note to that bank for 2250.D. which I do with great pleasure and...

After long delay for want of a tide we were enabled by the last rain to send off by Johnson ’s boats 106. (I think) barrels of flour to be delivered to you. from the mill too I expect mr T. E. Randolph has sent, or will immediately send 50. barrels of toll rent flour. besides placing you in safety as to my curtailments, these remittances will put you in funds to meet a draught I must make on...
