Dear Sir,
I was favor’d with yours of the 13th current, last evening, & immediately paid Mr Rawlings $89.77, in full of your dft:, on me, in his favor—
I have never failed to pay Mr Ritchie whatever claims he presented against you, and recollect distinctly paying him $7.50, for six Volumes of sessions Acts, on 23d Augst 1822, which you will find in your ℀ of that date, I was not apprised that you were due him any thing further—at all events, he has never applied to me for payt your ℀, & when he does, I will discharge it—
Jefferson will inform you that your Bedford crop of Tobacco is not all down yet, up to this time I have only recd 16 Hhds: of it—I expect to sell ten of them on Monday next—
