4Thomas Jefferson to Henry Skipwith, 17 April 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
Overhauling my seeds reminded me that I was to send you some Millet seed. it is now inclosed. put it into drills 3. or 4.f. apart so that you may conveniently plough it, and the stalks at 6.I. distance in the drill. it is planted immediately after cornplanting, say in May. it is to be used for the table as homony, boiled or fried, needs neither husking nor beating, & boils in about two hours....
5From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Skipwith, 6 May 1786 (Jefferson Papers)
Being desired to make some enquiries after the descendants of Degraffenreid the dancing master who have something of consequence descended to them in their native country, I know I cannot better do this than by inclosing to you the paper put into my hands, and praying you to make the necessary enquiries and to communicate to me the result. Having lately had occasion to go to England, I saw...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Skipwith, 26 December 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Our voyage from Hoors du monde was pretty easy. I determined at Mrs. Carr’s to divide the remaining part equally into two days by coming to the Byrd ordinary. A wretched place indeed we found it: but we could not have got up by any other division without the danger of lying in the woods. From there we came with your horses 15. miles to the stone quarry where my waggon horses met us, and...

Your favor of Oct. 22. has been a fortnight in my hands during which time I have been able to search exactly into the transaction it refers to. the late John Bannister the younger was indebted to me between three & four thousand livres lent him, or paid for him in Paris . on my return to America after his death I applied to the late mr John Dunbar for paiment; and on his assuming it, I gave an...
8From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Skipwith, 11 December 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Fulwar Skipwith informed me at Richmond that you would be there to-day, and that he supposed you would return by this place on Monday. I propose to leave this about Tuesday, and to have the pleasure of visiting Hors du monde on my way up. But as it is essential we should be together, and I find that Mr. Eppes will hardly consent to go from home, I take the liberty of begging you to come by...
9Thomas Jefferson to Henry Skipwith, 24 July 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 10 th has been duly recieved. I had also been summoned by Commissioner Ladd to attend at his office on the 1 st of August to have a settlement with the representatives of the Skeltons . I immediately informed mr Ladd that nothing was so much desired by the representatives of mr Wayles as a settlement of those accounts; & that I would attend any meeting for that purpose which...
10From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Skipwith, 5 October 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I am favoured with yours of Sep. 4. which comes to me here. In the suit you mention to be brought by Bevins’s exr. against you and myself, the order of the names is not even an irregularity. The omission of Mr. and Mrs. Eppes is more material, and if he will not amend his writ by consent, we ought to oblige him to do it by plea. I will beg the favor of you to have my appearance entered with...
