P.S. The whole sum of interest received by Mr. Brown has been Đ 2221.09 but I suspect that the 1,093.89 above stated, and also 333.33 part of the 15,342.18 have been purchased with it, and perhaps his commissions and disbursements take a part of the rest.

Dec. 31. 93. I have this day resigned. E. Randolph succeeds me.

MS (ViW); entirely in TJ’s hand; with related computations by Short on verso of address cover of TJ’s letter, including a table of figures Short captioned “In the hands of Mr. Jefferson.” PrC (DLC). MS (DLC: Short Papers); variant text in TJ’s hand probably written in part no earlier than May 1795 (see note 5 below); consists of the two tables printed above, the first being headed “A list of mr Short’s Certificates received by Th:J.” and the second “Dec. 17. 1793. Received from the treasury certificates in exchange for the above as follows,” with entries arranged according to date of interest; contains variant glosses as noted below, but lacks TJ’s other commentary and postscripts; endorsed by TJ: “Short Mr.”; with related computations by Short. Tr (ViU: Edgehill-Randolph Papers); 19th-century copy.

1Below these four words in MS in DLC TJ wrote a second gloss: “received from him also 109.83 cash.”

2Gloss lacking in MS in DLC.
