my note: in July, August, and September, TJ discounted notes at the Bank of Virginia in Richmond, receiving $989.50 for each note, to be reimbursed from the sale of his tobacco (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.
