Arthur S. Brockenbrough to Thomas Jefferson, 7 November 1820
From Arthur S. Brockenbrough
Nov: 7th 1820
Dear Sir,
Enclosed you will find my duplicate report in the first report I had made an error in the addition, it should have been $ 59.158.81. instead of $ 49.158.81 in consiquence of that error I have varied the form of report, but making the balance required to complete the buildings nearly the same, I hope it will make no difference in the report made by the visitors you will find I have layed on 25 p Cent on the former estimate which I am confident will not be too much from the uneaveness of the ground our brick work is much more expensive than I calculated & the stone work was not taken into the estimate and a variety of other expences have occured not before calculated on—I am Sir respectfully your Obt Sevt
A. S. Brockenbrough
