Bernard Peyton to Thomas Jefferson, 20 November 1823
From Bernard Peyton
Richd 20 Novr 1823
Dear Sir,
I this day send you, by S. Gilliats Boat, seven bundles Nail rods, in place of those formerly sent, & returned, which I hope will prove of the sizes wanted, they are furnished by your memorandum, by an Iron monger—I am not a judge of thier sizes myself—. Those returned are so extremely injured & defaced, that some loss will be encountered, in the exchange, tho’ not yet ascertained.
You have not sent Blanks for the renewal of your notes at the several Banks.
Bernard Peyton
