James Madison to Bernard Peyton, 27 May 1834
May 27. 1834
Dr Sir
I have just recd. your letter informing me of the sale of my two Hds. Tobaco Some little delay has occured with those that are to follow owing to the difficulty of getting it in order for the Hds The quality of a part of which, may be superior to that lately sold, the price of which is certainly not to be complained of.
It was not my intention to place in Bank to the credit of Mr E. Coles more than 120$—be so obliging therefore as to correct the mistake & to remit surplus to Wm Allen———($88.94)
