Henry St. George Tucker (1780-1848), Williamsburg to St. George Tucker, Winchester, 1801 August 13
Scope and Contents
Letters from upper country generally received on Tuesday. Forgot to mention Aunt Betty. She prefers dinning at home and he sends her her dinner every day. Mrs. Prentis remains the same, very ill. Mr. Prentis rides out every day. See Joe (Joseph Prentis) frequently but never hears of mother from him. Theodorick Banister is still closely confined and doctors salivated him. Others well. No argue or fever yet in spite of heavy rains. Brother Jack (John Randolph) wrote that both sisters were well. Will meet them soon at Bizarre. Father’s letter gives good idea of experiments of federal administration. In return for description of City of Washington, he would send story of a pretty ball at Mr. Peachy’s to which Charles Carter was invited, but has no room in letter. Nothing particular to say about the boys who have gone to walk.
