Henry St. George Tucker, Winchester, to St. George Tucker, Williamsburg, 1820 February 18
Scope and Contents
Left Richmond and travelled 30 miles to pass the Pamunkey hills. From Pamunkey bridge to here they had mud and quagmires. At night children played hide the switch. Only once in the seven days on the road were they out after dark and the children tired. Arrived at John Page's on seventh night as carryall broke down. Will go to Berkeley tomorrow to get Virginia (daughter) from Mrs. Hunter's. Coalter is deep in the James River scheme. New springs as good as those of Bedford discovered near them at Charlestown. Hopes all can visit him this summer.
