Having obtained 100 bushels of coal from the Treasury Department “for the use of the President’s household” on 3 Apr., Dougherty paid $40 to the department a month later (MS in MHi; in John Woodside’s hand and signed by him for payment received 3 May; endorsed by TJ: “Treasury. coal. pd May 4. 05”).

Price: that is, William Pryce, paid on 3 May for the book he sent TJ in March (MB description begins James A. Bear, Jr., and Lucia C.

On 2 May, barber Edward Frethy (Frithey) sent TJ a receipt for two months “Dressing” at $5 per month (MS in MHi; in Frethy’s hand, signed by William Connor acknowledging payment; endorsed by TJ).

postponed: among those who waited until TJ drew funds on 7 May and asked John Barnes to pay them were editor Peter Irving (Irwin) for subscription dues and Mrs. John March, the bookbinder (Statement of Account with Mrs. John March, printed at 7 Mch.; MB description begins James A. Bear, Jr., and Lucia C. Stanton, eds., Jefferson’s Memorandum Books: Accounts, with Legal Records and Miscellany, 1767-1826, Princeton, 1997, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Second Series description ends , 2:1153).
