12Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 25 March 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
By a letter from Cap t Miller of Norfolk of Feb. 16. he informed me he had put on board the steamboat for me ten gross of corks to your address. not having heard of them I am afraid the steamboat has never delivered them. in the mean while the season is so far advanced and advancing that I fear I shall lose my whole year’s stock of ale and cyder by too late bottling. if the corks are arrived I...

15Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 18 September 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
After so many kind services as I have recieved from you, & so many testimonies of kind dispositions, it would seem unreasonable to press further on them. and yet to whom but a friend can we apply in distress? I have a note of 3000.D. in the Farmer’s bank which was endorsed for me by Col o Nicholas . a different endorser is now called for, and I am told it must be a town endorser. mr Gibson...

The messenger who carried my letter of the 18 th to the post office brought me on his return your’s of the 9 th . you will see by that that I had anticipated your kind offers of service by asking your name to a note which had been indorsed by Col o Nicholas . since that Jefferson observed to me that by making the note payable to him and his endorsing it, it would lighten your responsibility,...

Your’s of the 11 th did not come to hand till last night. to have been a fortnight on the way proves great negligence on the way, which was not at the post office here, as I well know. you say you feel great embarrasment at asking my sollicitations for you at the seat of government . feel none, my dear Sir; there is nothing within my power which I am not ready to do for you, and I should be...
20Thomas Jefferson to Bernard Peyton, 4 December 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved last night your’s of Nov. 29 . you have rightly under stood the expression in my letter of ‘the place under him’ assuredly meaning the principal office in Richmond under the PM.G. Jefferson ’s sollicitations were warmly for yourself. he never had an idea of that or any thing else of the kind for himself. his views are fixed on the earth & his own industry only. I intend this year to...
