I wrote to you on the 2 nd inclosing $100 in small notes, and have since received your favor of the 3 d together with the blank sign’d —although, my not having received it in time to renew your note due in bank has caused me no inconvenience, it might have been otherwise, and to guard against my negligence in future, as well as accidents by the mail &c, I think it adviseable to adopt the plan...

33Patrick Gibson to Thomas Jefferson, 20 April 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your favor of the 12 th Ins t and am happy to find that I have acted conformably to your wishes in holding up your flour, the repeal of the restrictive system brought into market a few purchasers at 5$, which I refused under an impression that it would in a short time be followed by an Armistice—this opinion altho generally prevalent has not tended to raise the price, for the...

I received by the last mail your favor of the 28 th Ult o and Send you hereinclosed $150 in notes— there is no change in flour since I last wrote you, nor can we expect a rise until an armistice take place— RC ( ViU : TJP-ER ); between dateline and salutation: “Thomas Jefferson Esq re ”; endorsed by TJ as received 7 May 1814 and so recorded in SJL .
35Patrick Gibson to Thomas Jefferson, 13 June 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
I have not written you since the 4 th ult o when I forwarded you $150.— flour has been gradually declining and cannot without difficulty be sold at $4—I fear we have allowed the only favorable moment to escape, and regret extremely that I did not accept of the offer of 5$—60 d /. of which I inform’d you in mine of the 20 th April —should no change occur, so as to enable us to ship in the...
36Patrick Gibson to Thomas Jefferson, 7 July 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
I am favor’d with your two letters, of the 22 d ult o from Poplar Forest , and of the 1 st Ins t from Monticello upon receipt of the former I endeavour’d to make sale of your flour at 4$ but could not suc c eed—I am not certain that I could obtain even $3½ but think it probable, in the event of my not receiving instructions from you to the contrary I shall dispose of it for what it will bring—...

38Patrick Gibson to Thomas Jefferson, 27 July 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received your favor of the 23 d Ins t and am sorry to inform you that owing to the present distressd state of the banks, no addition to your note can be obtained, indeed so far from their increasing their discounts, they have been reduced to the disagreeable necessity of curtailing the one 10 the other 15 p r C t for every 60 d /.—this has been the case with the Farmer’s bank for 4...
39Patrick Gibson to Thomas Jefferson, 24 August 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
Since writing to you on the 4 th Ins t I have received your several letters of the 7 th 15 th 16 th & 20 th —finding it impracticable either through the medium of our banks or of individuals to remit to the North, and not deeming it prudent to risk bank notes—I wrote to M r Dufief
40Patrick Gibson to Thomas Jefferson, 30 September 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
A short absence from town prevented me from informing you sooner of the fate of your note renewed on the 9 th and which I enlarged to $3900—under the impression that the system of curtailing, which was then pursuing and which it was expected would be continued, must soon reduce it below the amount you required, this system however has been discontinued for the present, in consequence of the...
