To Thomas Jefferson from Bernard Peyton, 27 June 1822
Richd 27th June 1822—
Dr Sir
I omitted in my last to enclose a triplicate of the bill of exchange, forwarded to Mr Williams of London, and do so now under cover herewith.
I paid your curtail of $500 at the Farmers Bank this day it being taken off your $2500 note instead of the $4,000.— I have heard nothing yet of your bundle from Petersburg or from Mayo, nor have I been able to forward your herrings and shad to Milton, I will do so the first opportunity—
Very respectfully Sir Your Mo. Obd:
B. Peyton
P.S. The writer of this is desired to say that Mr Peyton’s pen hand is so much crippled he cannot write—
MHi.
