Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Eston Randolph, 3 June 1816
To Thomas Eston Randolph
Monticello June 3. 16.
Dear Sir
In my letter of the other day I mentioned that the credit of 122.50 D for corn formerly bought from mr Bankhead as mentioned by Colo T. M. Randolph, was correct, and reduced our balance to 176.26½ D
since that, having occasion to pay mr Fagg 49.58 D and not having the money, he told me it was due to you, & that an order on you would answer his purpose, which accordingly I gave him, & it reduces our balance to 126.68 ever & affectionately
Th: Jefferson
