Th: Jefferson
P.S. <May 6.> in our inland & uncommercial district it is most difficult to procure notes of any particular description. this letter has been kept open some days to procure a 5.D. bill of the US. bank to add to the 20.D. do now inclosed but none as yet found. it shall follow this separately as soon as procurable. if the notes of the Virga banks would pass with you it would1 much facilitate remittances.
PoC (MHi); on verso of reused address cover of John Barnes to TJ, [30] Nov. 1818; endorsed by TJ.
James Eastburn & Company’s letter of apr. 10 to TJ, not found, is recorded in SJL as received 1 May 1819 from New York.
