From Thomas Jefferson to Craven Peyton, 13 June 1805
Washington June 13. 05
Dear Sir
On the 27th. of April I recieved from Mr. Jefferson for acceptance your note for 201. D. paiable about the last of July, which I sent back accepted and shall pay at maturity. I did not write you on it because I thought he would do so. since that your favors of Apr. 25. & June 9. have been recieved. the former proposed that I should pay £200. in 60. days (say July 1.) and £60. in 90 days (Aug. 1.) this I believe would not have been possible, an accumulation of other demands for July 1. happening to me beyond what is usual. but if I understand your letter of June 9th. rightly it will suffice if I pay £47. the 1st. Monday of next month & £160. the 1st. Monday in August. these paiments I can accomplish only allowing to about the 10th. of each month, as it requires for me the first week or ten days of the month always to accomplish my pecuniary reckonings. if this will answer, be so good as to notify me by return of post and I will immediately inform mr Jefferson that paiments shall be made him accordingly. as I shall be at home about the 22d. of July we will then arrange the balance. in the mean time, that I may perfectly understand these transactions, I inclose you a paper with the name of every coparcener, to which I will ask you to add the names of the persons through whom each share comes to, you, the price of each, and the time of paiment. I have done this in part myself, that you may see in what manner I wish it compleated. will you also be so good as to explain what are the particular objects purchased of Eliza Bullock for the 500. D. I observe the warehouse was 100. D. of it. could you also send me a note of the quantity of tobo. recieved at the warehouse for some years back, & the sum paiable on each hogshead. I shall be glad to recieve this information as soon as convenient. Accept friendly salutations.
Th: Jefferson
