 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 7
Identifier: id219065

Scope and Contents

Satisfaction at his safe arrival at Williamsburg. His scheme relative to brother Thomas Tudor Tucker's residence in Virginia at first adopted with warmth. Upon deliberation obstacles appeared. Number of gentlemen from Virginia graduated lately from Edinburgh. Many are promising geniuses. Does not conceive that his practice there should be worth £300 or £400. It does not follow that business of dead eminent physcian would fall into his hands. Circumstances might throw great part of medical employment to adventurers who should settle at Norfolk even after brother's arrival there. Although self experienced hospitality from many inhabitants, has not been long enough in this place to have strong partiality for it. Thinks St. George unlikely to remain in Virginia after finishing education. This country furnishes fine field for gentlemen of law. Many amassed great wealth here. Friends in Bermuda received St. George's letters from Mr. Henry Tucker. St. George has not told them what or whom he saw at New York or Philadelphia.
