Your letter of the 18 th Dec. was not recieved till the 28 th . that of the 24 th came at the same time which proved that the first had lost a week at some of the intermediate post offices, and often they lose a fortnight. the bringing home some corn detained the waggon till now. it carries up some doors for the house which should be put in one of the rooms where they will be kept dry, and a...

18Thomas Jefferson to Joel Yancey, 25 May 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
The sale of my tob o in Richmond has been so miserable (averaging but 5.D) out of which the transportation is yet to be deducted that I do not think what remains on hand (if not already sent) ought to be sent there; and that you had better get what you can for it at Lynchburg where it’s intrinsic character is better known. the proceeds may be paid to mr White in part of his last year’s wages....
