To John Barnes
Monticello Mar. 15. 12
Dear Sir
Having several small sums to pay in George town, in order to spare Messrs Gibson & Jefferson the embarrasment of making so many fractional remittances, I have taken the liberty of desiring them to include the whole in a round sum of 200.D. and inclose it to you, presuming on your usual goodness that you will make the distribution for me, to wit
to | Henry Foxall | 55. | 46½ |
Richard Barry | 70. | 52 | |
Joseph Millegan | 65. | 12½ | |
R. C. Weightman, exact sum unknown, but it is under | 8. | 89 | |
200. |
as you will recieve this in a few days, I shall write to the several persons to call on you. Accept the assurance of my constant and affectionate regard
Th: Jefferson
