James Pleasants to Thomas Jefferson, 17 November 1823
From James Pleasants
Richmond 17th November 1823.
Dear Sir
Your letter of the 12th inst: reached me this morn-g.1 Under the impression that no more of the loan to the University would be called for the present year than the $40,000 some time since receivd, the president and directors of the literary fund have loaned so considerable a sum to the James river Company, that the amount now on hand, out of which the advance can be made is less than $10,000—There will be no difficulty however in our advancing the sum of $5,000—which shall be remitted or paid to your order as soon as the bond is forwarded.
The annual report of the Rector and Visitors was receivd some days since.
James Pleasants jr
RC (CSmH: JF); endorsed by TJ as received 20 Nov. 1823 and so recorded in SJL.
