Bernard Peyton to Thomas Jefferson, 17 March 1823
From Bernard Peyton
Richd 17 Mar: 1823
Dear Sir,
I have been out of blanks for a considerable time, for the renewal of your several notes at Bank—
The prospect of War in Europe has revived us a little here, & put Flour up to $7—I wish it may not turn out to be a Ne=epolitan affair—
With great respect Dr sir Yours very Truly
Bernard Peyton
