To Thomas Jefferson from Arthur S. Brockenbrough, 18 November 1822
University Va Nov 18 1822
Dear Sir,
In settling some business with Mr Garrett to day I find (for the first time I have known it) $200— paid to Mr Giacomo Raggi which is that amt more than he should have recieved—- In your statement (to Mr Garrett) of Mr Appletons acct May 8h 1822. You state it thus
Proceeds of former remittance | $1239 | .00 | |
to be paid to Giacomo Raggi | 200 | .00 | |
applicable to the capitals | $1039 | .00 | |
Whole cost of Capitals | 1900 | ||
bal: to be remited clear of | } | 861 | |
Exchange |
Mr Garrett called on me for a draft for seven hundred dollars which was given Without showing me your statment, Consiquintly I did not know of Mr Appletons being directed to pay $200 to Giacomo Raggi, therefore never charged him with it I give you the earlyest information I have of it that the error may be corrected if practicable - by Mr Appletons with holding it if he has not paid it hoping you are in a fair way of recovering from the effects of your fall I am Sir respectfuly yours
A. S. Brockenbrough
Note This bal: 161$ was not drafted for untill today
