MS (CSmH); undated, but see below; entirely in TJ’s hand.

left with mr Barnes: in his financial memoranda for 13 July 1805, TJ recorded leaving three notes of $2,000 each on the Bank of the United States, to be discounted as $1,979 withdrawals on 7 Aug., 4 Sep., and 9 Oct., “each to be applied according to directions.” Differences in ink indicate that TJ likely added entries for discounts from the Bank of Columbia and his payments to Barnes to his copy of this memorandum after giving the original to Barnes. He appears also to have interlined entries for Madison and Philippe Reibelt, possibly in conjunction with instructions he sent to Barnes on 23 Aug. (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, 2 vols. The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Second Series description ends , 2:1159).

1. TJ first wrote “500” before altering the figure to read as above.
