Thomas Jefferson to Jones & Howell, 12 July 1805

To Jones & Howell

Washington July 12. 05.

Messrs. Jones & Howell

I inclose you a draught of the US. bank here on that at Philadelphia for 253. D 33 c now due for a former supply of iron to that amount.

Having occasion to make a remittance to Alexr Stewart on account of his father, & not knowing his address, I have taken the liberty of inclosing to you the letter to him covering the remittance. as I presume his address is known to you & probably not known at the post office, I hope you will excuse my asking the favor of you to have the letter delivered to him. Accept my salutations & best wishes.

Th: Jefferson
