John Randolph of Roanoke, Virginia, to his nephew, Theodorick Tudor Randolph, Harvard College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1813 August 29
Scope and Contents
Since John Randolph is not long for this world, is anxious to settle his affairs; "should you decide upon a settlement south of Phil[adelphi]a (which God forbid) I am desirous that you should fix yourself as soon as possible on the plantation below the mouth of little Roanoke...[Bizarre Plantation?];" John Randolph's infirmity has prevented him from giving the estate the requisite attention, and it is much encumbered with debt; discusses his failing health: "there is something radically amiss in the system. The machine cannot last much longer."
