Scope and Contents
Thanks for his letter by post. His letter via Philadelphia not yet received. Sorry St. George could not succeed in taking up money they wished. Would have enabled St. George to discharge debts and Natty (Nathaniel Tucker) to set out for Edinburgh with support for year. Unlucky that his bookseller (Purdie?) deceived him. To endeavor to get £100 stg here for Natty. Objections to St. George's going to Georgia. Viriginia courts may open in few months. They must do so in 2, 3 or 4 years. Self will be answerable to Dr. Archibald Campbell or any other who may be St. George's security. Notices Natty mentioned own intention of going to country. If does not succeed, to return to Bermuda. Hester (Mrs. Esther (Evan) Tucker) in straw. They moved into Broad Street day before Christmas. Miss Polly (Evans) and Miss Boyd with them. If they go out of town distance will not be above 20 miles. St. George may know from Williamson or Savage where they are. Will rejoice to see St. George if he comes. He may direct letters c/o John Blake. (included on letter from Nathaniel Tucker to St. George Tucker this date.)
