St. George Tucker (1752-1827), Matoax to Maurice Simmons, 1778 December 9
Scope and Contents
I received your last two letters when I was in bed so ill that I was unable to read them. I gave Captain Williamson an order on Mr. Randolph for 70 hogsheads which was delivered. I paid him three thousand pounds including an order on a person in Williamsburg for £500. I received a verbal message from Mr. Randolph desiring me to send him the amount of my order which had not been paid. I sent him the money by a friend and then received an answer that Mr. Randolph refused to accept the money and said he would deliver no more tobacco.
