Nathaniel Tucker, Charleston, South Carolina to St. George Tucker, Virginia, via New York, 1774 April 27
Scope and Contents
Received his favor by post. Letter in which St. George informed of dropping intention to print more copies of Bermudian never came. Henry Tucker of Scrogham's Point requested 100 copies besides 200 almost sure to dispose of in West Indies. Tucker informs has little doubt of being able to sell fourth hundred. Repeats of request to convey here 300 copies before mentioned. Received from Dr. Blacklock dozen specimens of European edition. Induced to hope number above mentioned would find speedy sale here. Recommends sending them to Doctor Archibald Campbell in Norfolk. If opportunity to Charleston should not offer asks him to request Campbell to convey them via New York or Philadelphia. Sorry St. George disposed to print only 1,000 copies as persuaded double that number might be disposed of. Has not yet heard reviewers on subject. Thinks it unkind of Doctor Campbell to neglect self. Many arrivals from Norfolk without single line from him or St. George. Notwithstanding, requests to be remembered to him and aunt (Mrs. Archibald Campbell). In letter by Captain Todd made interrogations without getting answers. Asks if Major (James ? Innes) and Beverley Randolph married. Rejoices that St. George likely to do well at Petersburg.
