Encloses letter from General George Jackson of Georgia whose character as republican St. George knows. Assured him St. George would furnish him information on subject of his son’s education at Williamsburg, procuring desirable acquaintances and other advantages. Mentioned St. George’s resignation of professorship to Jackson. Attorney General Levi Lincoln derived great pleasure at St. George’s Blackstone. Pending business of infamous Bailey, self received from Jennings Lee at Alexandria letter informing he had written to Captain Davidson of this place desiring his knowledge of Bailey’s character. Davidson, whose answer was enclosed, despised Bailey’s character. Lee wrote with view to get Davidson’s affidavit to add to others laid before legislature. Whatever Lee’s political sentiments, he acted friendly part. Joseph Lewis, member of Congress, appears to have interested himself in like manner. Self engaged two copies of St. George’s work, one intended as gift for Henry St. George Tucker. No vessels that self knows go from here to Norfolk. Hence delay in sending St. George’s books. Should also have sent back letter of Elizabeth Tucker and other sister (Mrs. Frances (Tucker) Tucker). Sister’s son, Richard J. Tucker, in Charleston at beginning of year to recover debts due to father’s Henry Tucker of Scroghams Point estate, but disappointed. Death of General Alexander Hamilton excites sympathy even in those politically opposed. Man of talents. Remembers St. George thought more favorably of French character than self, although he could not have been more attached to their revolutionary cause. Asks if not now disgusted with them. Thought House of Corsican tottering but Napoleon will get himself hedged around by new order of grandees. Feels under obligation to Judge Nelson for friendly intentions. Hopes sister Mrs. Lelia (Skipwith) Carter Tucker benefitted by journey. Also that St. George found Fanny (Mrs. Anne Frances Bland (Tucker) Coalter), John Coalter and friends at Staunton in health. Sends affections to them and Polly (Mary Walker Carter). Page writes and Venable tells self that St. George relieved by change in his official situation. His former duties slavery and present ones poorly compensated. Enclosure not present.
