George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 4 November 1805
From George Jefferson
Richmond 4th. Novr. 1805
Dear Sir
The two boxes of sheet iron are here. For want of water carriage, Mr. Oldham some time since (I think he said at the request of one of your workmen) engaged a waggon to take them; but on measuring them, it was found they were too large for such a conveyance.
I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble servt.
Geo. Jefferson
