Chapter One From John Barnes
Dear Sir- George Town 18th June 1811-
I am without any of your favors since that of the 4th April-Answered the 15th-on the 25th I had the Honor of inclosing to you Mrs Beckleys letter to me, respecting her Brothers unfortunate situation, since when nothing has transpired on that Accot-
Mr Barry called on me 21st Ulto (since Married) when I paid him the $100- Messrs G & J. remitted me, Over and above, your $360. Int on Gen K. a/c
I have some thoughts of making a short Tour the insuing Mo to Philada (health permitting) which of late I have not-as heretofore injoyed.-no Unusual complaint (save weakness-&c-the Natural affect, of advancd Age.)-
as I expect to be-in Philada Middle July should you have any particular Commands-I should with pleasure Attend to them,-as well, whilst there-receive-via your Order-the good Gens 6 Mos dividend due 1st July-
I am Anxiously expecting to hear of your last years remittance to him-being safe in his Brokers hands-as well the present years-now-on its passage-
with great Respect, I am, Dear Sir, your most Obedt servant
opportunity Sir, is the very first, and the only direct one, from this Island to the United States, since my last return to my Station from America-per the first next that may offer I will not fail to remit port-Consular Vacancy, I pray You Sir, to hold me in view, and intercede in my behalf with His Excellency The President- Mrs Baker desires me sir, to present you her most Respectful Compliments-and I have the Honor to be, with the Highest Respect & Gratitude
Sir Your most obedient humble servant John Martin Baker.

I am just informed, that the Consular office of Tripoly is vacant. If it be a truth, I pray you sir, to intercede for me for the appointment: & I beg leave to add, that I am conversant with the lengua-franca-now commonly used in Affrica, by the Cheifs &c-
From Charles L. Bankhead
Dear sir Port Royal June 20th-11
I have recieved yours of the 10 June for which both my father and myself render you our gratefull acknowledgements. he thanks you sincerely for the information you have given him of Mr: Shorts intention to sell his land & to be remember,d by you will ever impose a debt of gratitude upon me, a debt which my heart most liberally repays. I should have answerd you before this, but for the expectation of saying to you in person, what I now do by letter. Mr: Radford of Lynchburgh has lately written me on the subject of our land in Bedford, and express,d a strong desire to become a purchaser; supposing him acquainted with the price, Mr: Clay having promised to make that known, I had determined to set out immediately for Lynchburgh. As you are lately from the forest I should be obliged to you for any information you may have collected, as to the chances of finding a purchasor. Mr: Radford requests me to fix a price. I must improveing &c. I wish indeed that there was a house on the place with some little improvements about it, for those are circumstances which I believe would make highlanders of us all. I am happy to hear Colo. Randolph is likely to succeed with the mill. I always thought from the adjacency of his farm, that the advantages resulting from the lease would be greater [to]him tha[n] to any other tenant. My warmest regards to Mr: & Mrs Randolp[h] and believe me my dear sir to be yours very affectionately Chas: L Bankhead
From George Jefferson
Dear Sir Richmond 20th June 1811
I inclose an acct of the sales of 547 bbls of your flour, together with your acct current to this day, the last shewing a balance against you of $:2671.400/100.-Deducting this sum from the 5800$ obtained from the bank, (which is partly to be paid off with Harrisons dft, and the balance to be continued) leaves $:3128.60/100 for which you are to draw.-You can likewise if you think proper draw for the probable amount of 54 barrels of flour received within these few days from Lynchburg; which I have not been able to sell, although very anxious to do so, both from a wish to close the sales of the whole together, and from a fear of holding it at this advanced season of the year, lest it should spoil. I suppose however that it has been but lately manufactured, and will therefore be safe for a short time at any rate. At present there is no demand whatever: no one will purchase except at a price greatly under the value-sales of small parcels having been made as low as $:8.1/4. I inclose a note for your signature, for renewal in the bank.-I have filled it up with 3000$ as being a round sum.-if you prefer any other, you will of course make the necessary alteration. you will see from the date, when it will be wanted.
I am Dear Sir Your very humble servt Geo. Jefferson
To Peter Minor
June. 20. 11.
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to mr Peter Minor and sends him a bottle of oil of the last expression, in the wooden press placed under the beam of the cyder press. it's colour shews it preferable to the Iron press; and the ease with which this press is made is a further encoragement to the culture of the Benni. Th:J. will not make seed this year, owing to his having sowed it with a drill which covered it too deep.
From Robert Wash
Dr Sir St Louis June 20th 1811-
Your letter of the 11th may reached me by the last mail: from which I learn with considerable regret, that Mr Crafts changed the resolution he had formed, of passing by Monticello on his return to New york. That Gentleman's politeness & intelligence would have been an excuse for the haste & apparent negligence with which I had ventured to address you. From your letter, I am led further to conclude, that the Nos of the Louisiana Gazette containing a sketch of this country have never reached you. The News Papers containing those numbers could not be conveniently enclosed, and were therfore, entrusted to Mr C,-who promised to deliver them in person. It was that you might read Mr Breckenridge's remarks with more satisfaction, that induced me to submit to your inspection such an appology for a map.
I herewith enclose you seven Nos & will forward the rest in the course of a week or two. The Author I fear, has been rather too tablishments in this country So very defective, that we seldom get any thing like News. All is old before it reaches us.-The report of an engagement off the Capes of Virginia (which reached us by last nights Mail) has excited a lively interest in every class of people. The only wish expressed is, that it may be true.- There are between 3 & 4 hundred men engaged in hunting on the head waters of the Missouri & Columbia, who meet with little or no opposition from the Indians.-A letter from Mr Bradburry received a few days since, informs us that he was within two or three days Journey of the Mandan Villages. He has sent down a number of valuable minerals & Indian curiosities, with a view to have them forwarded to his friends in Europe. I am truly sorry, that the scientifical labours of such a man as Mr Bradberry should depend upon Europe for their Just reward.- Col. John Smith & F Morehead, Gentlemen of capital & great enterprise, left this place about ten days since, with 97 men to form an establishment at the lead mines on the Mississipi, about 40 miles this side of Prairie de Chien. It is expected that by the next winter, there will [be] 8 hundred or a thousand men engaged in raising mineral.- we have had almost incessant rains for the last three months. Since the 1st of Frebry thirty five & a 3 inches of water have fallen.-
with the most sincere respect & esteem yrs &C R: Wash
P.S. The Potash, made in the manufactories which have been lately established at the U.S.'s Saline & other salt furnaces in this country, has been found to be so strongly impregnated with Marine acid as entirely to destroy it's utility.

ket & sold. it now enables me to inclose you a draught on Messrs Gibson & Jefferson of Richmond for fifty nine dollars 74. Cents, the balance due according to the statement in my letter of Apr. 4. & your answer. I inclose you Dr Everett's account for his attendance on the negro man, and Lewis's account for board & nursing with the award of the arbitrators to whom it was submitted by consent, and the receipt for the money. Accept the assurances of my great esteem & respect Th: Jefferson
To Charles Everette
Dear Doctor Monticello June 24. 11.
My funds lying all in Richmond, I inclose you an order on Messrs Gibson & Jefferson of that place for 42. D 20 c the balance of your account. but should it not be convenient to you to recieve the money in Richmond, I will on your intimation call for it by the first post. will you be so good as to sign the inclosed paper & return it to me by the bearer to be transmitted to Gen Chamberlayne who, acting as executor for the estate of which the negro man was a part, informs me he must produce vouchers for the passing of his accounts. I hope you are recovering fast from the consequences of your fall. our good cherries are all gone, or we should have repeated the sending them. none remain but a few Morellas, too sour to be eaten. but if they would be acceptable they are at your service. Accept the assurances of my great esteem & respect Th: Jefferson

To George Jefferson
Dear Sir: Monticello June 24. 11
Yours of the 20th was recieved yesterday inclosing my account balance 3128.60 and the estimated amount of 54. Barrels flour un sold, to be drawn for-there should be still near 50. Barrels more to be recieved from Bedford. In consequence of your permission I am drawing on you as follows:
Dr. Everett of Charlottesville 42.20 Gen.l Wm. Chamberlayne of N. Kent 59.74 Jones & Howell Phila. 500. James Lyle 1000. D. Higginbotham 1500. 3101.94
all those will present draughts, except Jones & Howell whom I inform by letter that you will be so good as to remit them 500 Dol. immediately, which I must pray you to do. besides the order to D. Higginbotham, I give him one on you for the proceeds of the 7 hhds tob. sent from this place whenever you shall have sold it. they are supposed to yield something upwards of 12,000 weight. if it is not too troublsome, I will ask to know what has been the fate of the single hhd of tobo sent last, the overseer who made it, solliciting me to enquire, as he supposes it much superior to that which went from another plan-P.S. I returned the note for the bank signed at 3000D.
To James Lyle
Dear Sir Monticello June 24. 11.
The process of getting my flour to market from Bedford and this place, and of getting it sold, has been slower than I had hoped. it is now so far effected as to enable me to inclose you an order on Gibson & Jefferson for one thousand Dollars. I shall not fail to make as great an exertion from my future crops as they will enable me to do for the completion of the paiment of my debt to you. 3000.D. still unpaid in the bank will cramp me the ensuing spring, but that once discharged, I shall be able to make a close of this long indulged debt. I remark what you say of Edward Bolling's debt to me, assigned to you, & that you have to sue him for his father's debt. I beseech you to add mine to his debt to you so that it may be comprehended in the recovery, or I shall lose it. this letter shall secure you against being accountable to me for it, unless you recover it from him. wishing you a continuance of life and health, I add the assurance of my continued affection & respect Th: Jefferson
