Mr. Dulith may leave for Europe early in the summer from Philadelphia. I would like to withdraw my tobacco which has been deposited. The Carolina certificate will be ample security.

Dutelk's deposition not taken under decree of court of chancery. So objection seems not to be unwarrantable. Delay is necessary to supply defect. Quintana had better return. Will move chancery to make submission to arbitration a rule of court. Will press for commission to be sent to Philadelphia. Tucker's scheme of damages is founded in reason and justice and in mercantile usage.

Mr. Muir's case singular. Prince George court has fortified its judgment against revision by a rejection of entries. Believes they have pursued scarcely one of requisitions of law concerning tender. Believes he can get supersedeas (appellant's bond), though it is too late for appeal.

I am not able to attend court on Friday. Will I have to attend next court on the suit against Mosely. When will it be possible to obtain a judgment for the tobacco bond to Mr. Payne.

I am sending you a few accounts which have been standing for many years. I am not able to collect them so I need your help. I am not sure James Ball's account is correct. Please look at Ball's books. I have been promised Davis' account. What does Manlove say about his account?

I sent you the account of Thorowgood Smith and Company against Richard Hanson. I hear that gentleman is now in Petersburg. Please apply to him for the money. If he does not pay bring suit.

Richard Randolph needs Xenophon and Horace, Theodorick Randolph needs Caesar, Ovid, and Greek grammar. Supposition that Theodorick is deficient should not deprive him of advantages. Regrets he charged Mrs. Tucker £3 too much. Self has advanced about 40/ for repairs for boys.

Is it possible to take the deposition of Captain Thomas Gibbons, relative to the affair in dispute between Captain Thomas Stratten and Samuel Hollingsworth? He intends to sea early in June. If nothing happens next court, just drop the suit.

Please dispose of the tea that John Green of New Bern writes about. If it can't be sold in Petersburg, send it to me. I hope you will settle the tobacco which you owe me.

I have obtained every paper necessary for the recovery of the insurance on the Brig Sally Van, even a renewal of her bill of lading. The only thing now to do is to let one person take the whole of the interest. I will take it if you agree.

My nephew says the lot in Portsmouth is valuable, but will require a great deal of money to improve it towards the water. For the present, I relinquish all pretentions to the purchase. I will rely on you when Captain Morgan's account becomes due.

I gave the arbitration bond to the attorney general. I am sending you ten guineas. Today I leave for the northward.

I have been appointed by the trustees of Hampden-Sidney College to attend the present Assembly because of an interesting subject. If I go, I will not be able to attend Amelia court.

Please give an order on Captain Holcomb for 15 barrels of corn.

My father is going with me to Brenada (Grenada?) We are waiting for Tudor. Please give Tudor the money I left in your hands. Enclosing a letter from your sister. Letters from England give us reason to believe this place will be made a free port. My parents thank you for the flour and hams.

I have heard of an opportunity for sending your books. Mamma thanks you for her presents. We have heard from papa and he has recovered.

I am expecting a gentleman from North Carolina to whom I have promised to pay about £80. If you have received the money from Richard's, please send it to me. Also that of Davises. Have you gotten the money from Mr. Duval.
