| dc.description.abstract |
Financial distress brought on by "my unskillful stewardship of Agricultural property" and inattention to it is leading Jefferson to consider the sale of his property; the "prostrate" real estate market in Virginia is preventing him from finding an outright purchaser, though, and fair market value could not be obtained by auction; as a result, he is considering a lottery for some of his land to earn money to pay his debts; compliments toward him in the press are a "soothing balm" and should help with the sale of the lottery tickets. |
