Thomas Jefferson Papers

From Thomas Jefferson to George Jefferson, 26 March 1804

To George Jefferson

Washington Mar. 26. 1804.

Dear Sir

I mentioned on a former occasion that I could only take all this month to dispose of my tobacco to the best advantage. if not already sold, I must pray you to sell it immediately and to remit the proceeds (deducting your balance) to mr Barnes the first or second week of April. I shall then be at Monticello, for which place I set out on the 30th. Accept my affectionate salutations.

Th: Jefferson

P.S. the vessel which brought my coal took back 20 odd packages for Richmond for which she sailed three days ago. they are groceries &c wanting while I am at home, so to be forwarded by the first boat
