From Patrick Gibson
Richmond 7th July 1814
Sir
I am favor’d with your two letters, of the 22d ulto from Poplar Forest, and of the 1st Inst from Monticello upon receipt of the former I endeavour’d to make sale of your flour at 4$ but could not succeed—I am not certain that I could obtain even $3½ but think it probable, in the event of my not receiving instructions from you to the contrary I shall dispose of it for what it will bring—I remitted Mr A Robertson $240 as you directed and now inclose your $175. as requested in your last— with great respect I am
Patrick Gibson
