Thomas Tudor Tucker (1745-1828), Washington, D. C. to St. George Tucker, 1803 October 4
Scope and Contents
Hopes if St. George not recovered from indisposition will not go to Fredericksburg. Last letter to St. George at that place accompanied by pamphlet written by James Tucker’s son, now in London. In case of St. George’s not going to Fredericksburg, he may get friend to take charge of it instead of having high postage to pay. Satisfied with what St. George says about own remark concerning General LaFayette. Got own opinion from conversation and newspaper accounts. Most recent was one of Smith’s papers entirely on that subject. Self mistook allusion to Doctor Benjamin Franklin as referring to part he took in Revolution. Hopes Henry’s (St. George Tucker) indisposition not serious. Sends regards to sister (Mrs. Lelia (Skipwith) Carter Tucker), Fanny (Mrs. Anne Frances Bland (Tucker) Coalter), Polly (Mary Walker Carter), (Nathaniel) Beverley (Tucker) and (John) Coalter. Shall inquire of Smith about printing of St. George’s pamphlet (on Louisiana Purchase).
