Beverley Randolph to Colonel St. George Tucker, Matoax, circa 1785 December
I congratulate you on your return. In your absence I took a liberty in the direction of your affairs. I wrote Captain Holcombe requesting him to let me have 10,000 weight of your present crop of tobacco. He brought it to the inspection at Manchester. The sale of the Negroes will be on the 21st of this month. I have prevailed upon my creditors to wait for their money. I hope you will eat New Year's dinner with us.
