One page, oblong 8vo. Two columns of figures, headed “Richard Richardson in account with Th. Jefferson.” At the bottom of the columns Jefferson has penned: “Acknoleged (sic) to be just, & a real balance of #16.7.2 due to R. Richardson besides a temporary additional one of twenty five pounds as stated. During the ensuing winter months Mr. Richardson is to overlook all my affairs (not belonging to the plantation) and to have #4, if the weather admits him to lay any dry wall, an additional allowance is to be made. Th. Jefferson.”

A superb document relating to Jefferson's home Monticello. Jefferson was the third President of the United States and wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence.
