1To James Madison from Maury & Latham, 13 September 1820 (Madison Papers)
We beg leave to inform you that by the Scipio, Capt Drummond, for Norfolk, we shipped the goods you directed should be purchased, and consigned them to Mess Moses Myers & Son, requesting them to receive Mess Mackay & Campbells instructions respecting them. We judged it best to send them to Norfolk as there may be no vessel from hence to the Rappahannoc this twelvemonth. We must apprize you...
2To James Madison from Maury & Latham, 24 October 1820 (Madison Papers)
We beg to hand Accot sales of your Tobacco pr. scipio, with your Accot Currt. balance £35..12..5. due to you. By the next vessel for Virginia we shall ship the 10 sacks of Salt which you wish for. Mess MacKay & Campbell handed us your dft for £100. on us, & which we shall accordingly appropriate to them if such is your wish—it will in that case leave a balance of £64.7.7. against you,...
3To James Madison from Maury & Latham, 19 October 1821 (Madison Papers)
Since we had this pleasure we have disposed of your remaining Tobacco at prices which we hope will be satisfactory & now beg to hand you Account Sales of the same leaving to your Cr. £278. 13. 5. The business done in Tobacco this month has been extensive & at ¼ a ½ advance upon prices of August—supposing however that these advices would bring forward heavy supplies we have availed ourselves of...
4To James Madison from Maury & Latham, 1 February 1822 (Madison Papers)
Referring you to our annexed monthly report upon Tobacco &c., we may remark that there appears rather more disposition to purchase in London, by which market ours must now be regulated; about 200 Hhds. had been sold to a Dealer, 128 of which were rather under middling & brought 4½d.; there, as well as here, the want of desirable quality for Ireland & the Home demand is felt, & our highest...
5To James Madison from Maury & Latham, 2 January 1822 (Madison Papers)
We beg to refer you to the annexed annual report upon Tobacco &c. The Sales of last month have been limitted, amounting only to about 400 Hhds. of which, 182 were Virginia leaf & 140 Strips—60 Hhds Kentucky leaf & 7 Strips—2 Hhds. Maryland, fair quality @ 7½. Holders have been pretty steady during the month; but by the last advices from Virginia received by the packet, it does appear to us...
6To James Madison from Maury & Latham, 2 October 1821 (Madison Papers)
Enclosed we beg to hand you the valuations of your Tobacco ⅌ Glide—also the account of some which have been sold—to which we may add No. 14 @ 4¾ d. The Tobacco is certainly good, but our manufacturers run now entirely upon long leafed perfect in the points &c; for such we are getting 7½ & the writer knows that your land will produce as fine as Mr Rives in Nelson. We would recommend your...
7To James Madison from Maury & Latham, 6 October 1821 (Madison Papers)
Tobacco has been in good demand this week, particularly for the last three days & the sales are not far from 400 Hhds, chiefly Virginias, & at an advance of full ½ upon strips & ¼ upon leaf—holders are looking for a further advance of ¼ perhaps ½. & will probably be sparing sellers until then. The rise is owing to the continued accounts of short supplies this season, the expected arrival of...
8To James Madison from Maury & Latham, 1 November 1821 (Madison Papers)
Annexed we beg to hand you your Account Current 1 shewing a balance in your favor of £21.15.2 which we hope will be found correct. Since our last letter no material alteration has taken place in our Tobacco market—holders of it continue firm at the late advance. We have the honor to be Sir Your most obedient servants Dr Jas Madison Esq in acct currt & intst to 3d March 1822 with Maury & Latham...
