Henry Tucker (1713-1787), Bermuda to St. George Tucker, Williamsburg, Virginia, 1777 June 22
Scope and Contents
Your last letter gave us the account of the death of your poor Sister Tucker (wife of Thomas Tudor Tucker). I was glad you were with your brother. We have had no account of the Dispatch. You made a terrible bargain for her, the freight ought to have been double. I hope you have made a better bargain with your Brig. Frank Dickinson says you made 1,500 Guineas at Charles Town, S. C. for your business. Your brother Harry (Henry) has returned from York. He was treated very politely by Lord Howe who was displeased at the behavior of Jordan here, but said the Commmander of the King's ships must have power and that he could only give them General instructions and recommend lenity. Upon the arrival of Frank Morgan, he was fired upon by the Fort.
