Henry Tucker (1713-1787), Bermuda to St. George Tucker, 1777 June 29
Scope and Contents
I hope you received my letter of a few days past. Still no account of the Dispatch.I hope the purchase of the Brig and cargo will be a profitable adventure, but I greatly fear that neither she nor the Dispatch will get into Virginia as our accounts are the bay is full of Men of War. However, if they should have the good fortune to escape we approve of your intentions of sending them to France rather than the West Indies and also your intentions of ordering 1,000£ Stg. to be remitted to London. I believe the Men of War here have had a severe reprimand. The two Morgans have behaved very imprudently and I fear will be the cause of our having a Man of War stationed at the West End. Jack Tucker has lost his senses, he thinks his brothers have laid a plot to destroy him and that the Morgans came here to take him on board.
