Francis Eppes to Thomas Jefferson Randolph
| Dr Jeff, | Lynchburg April 24. 23 |
the jig is up with the banks my dr fellow—they will not take a draught on me—they will not renew the note with me as principal—they will take the cash; they will take a draught on Richmond at 60 days! this is the sovereign will and pleasure, of the honourable, the board of directors; which after a two weeks dangling and dancing I had the honour to learn this morning. I promised to write and accordingly do so: but not being in the sweetest temper of mind I must conclude. Farewell—if you have any advice t’will be most thankfully recieved at Lynchburg.
P.S my love & Elizabeths to cousin Jane—if you should meet with mr Randolph tell him the issue of this business. he asked me to write, but I do not think the formality of a letter necessary.
