You will see by the Inclosed Note from M. Jefferson what his sentiments are about the Manner of drawing—

I wrote to M Grand a few days ago that I shou’d have occasion to Value in you in the Course of a Month for twelve or fifteen hundred pounds Sterling, and desired to know whether he wou’d Negociate the Bills, one of his people Called the Next Day and proposed that I wou’d write to you to Remit the Money here—to which I reply’d, that I wou’d not—that I was at No loss to pass the bills, and only offerd them to him, because he did the other public business here
