Thomas Tudor Tucker (1745-1828), Washington, D. C. to St. George Tucker, Williamsburg, Virginia, 1801 December 19
Scope and Contents
Sorry for sister’s (Mrs. Lelia (Skipwith) Carter Tucker) and Nathaniel Beverley’s Tucker's indispositions. Polly (Mary Walker Carter) told herself her mama had whitlow. Hopes Henry’s (St. George Tucker) health to be confirmed. Characters of both St. George’s sons and own niece (Anne Frances Bland Tucker) uncommonly promising. Pleasure to self that St. George lessened grief at Henry’s settlement at Winchester by purchasing house in Winchester for spending summers with him. John Randolph arrived to take seat on first day of Congress. He and self went to Alexandria to visit Polly. Self will dine with Brent tomorrow so presumes his daughter better. Called with J. R. on Mason with St. George’s letter. Has not forgotten Judge Nelson George’s letter. Has not forgotten Judge Nelson, but did not know by Christian name how to distinguish individuals of several branches of family. Own official duty (Treasurer of United States) more familiar but logic of whole system not yet clear. St. George must have received President’s message. Charles Lee moved for rule of court to require Secretary of State to show why mandamus may not issue requiring him to issue commissions to persons nominated as justices of peace by Adams and approved by Senate. Rule was granted.
