George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 9 July 1805

From George Jefferson

Richmond 9th. July 1805

Dear Sir

Your favor of the 5th inclosing a note to G. & J. negociable at the Bank of Virginia for 1000$, I received yesterday; but not in time to be offered so as to be decided on to day.

Friday the 12th. is again discount day, when I will inform you of its fate.—I am however so entirely certain it will be discounted, that, if it will at all facilitate your arrangements, you are at liberty to draw, as if it were now done.—

Bohn & Hubner’s notes fall due the 31st. of Augt, & 30th. of Septr, & of October—should you therefore require further discounts, you had as well date notes the first of August—one at 60, & the other at 90 days.

I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble servt.

Geo. Jefferson

I will inform you: in a brief letter of 12 July, Jefferson wrote that TJ’s “note of 1000$ was this day discounted” (RC in same; at foot of text: “Thomas Jefferson esq.”; endorsed by TJ as received 20 July and so recorded in SJL).
