Account and fee book

Autograph manuscript signed. Volume contains accounts of legal fees due with a chronological arrangement and alphabetical index in back. Volume also includes account balances titled "Personal estate in account" and "with Real estate" which are copies, with some variations, of "Personal stock for Lands and slaves sold" and "By Lands and slaves Bought" in Jefferson's account book, 1764-1779 (HM 5572). These pages mention enslaved persons Myrtilla, Sandy, Ursula, George, Bagwell, a second George, and Waggoner Phill. Also present in the volume are accounts for goods, services, rent, travel and other expenses with Joseph Neilson, Joseph Anderson, John Day, John Brewer, Will Beck, Isaac Jackson, the Treasury of Virginia, the Wine Company, Philip Mazzei, the Albemarle Salt company, William Rice, Stephen Willis, Anthony Giannini, the estate of Peter Jefferson and various Jefferson family members, Dabney Carr, the estate of Bathurst Skelton, and others. Some labor expenses listed include enslaved labor; William Rice's account, for example, mentions stonecutting work by Jupiter Evans ("18 days work of Jupiter on Shelby's tombstone"). Volume also contains "Statement of my debts when I went to Europe" and balance accounts for 1791 and 1794. Some accounts in this volume duplicate listings in the 1764-1779 account book (HM 5572). A few pages have penciled sketches of landscapes and houses. (373 pages)
