Last wrote by Major Washington about 3 weeks ago. Not sure whether St. George in Bermuda or Virginia. This is to introduce Mr. Griffith. Parents are known to St. George. Self met him in Bermuda. Griffith may go to Petersburg. Regards to sister, the boys, the children, St. George, Jr., Miss Maria Rind, etc.

I found that a certiorari could not be granted in any case without ten days notice to the adverse party. I procure a copy of the proceedings of the court. Please write the attorney general stating such matters not appearing on the record.

I wrote you concerning the chest of tea. Please send me a statement of the sales and charges.

Fears the vessel they have chosen for trip to Bermuda is improper. Hears that it is leaky. Heard her pumps constantly going while she lay opposite his house. Give information because of anxiety about them. Is at Farmingdale without pen, ink and only paper enough to write. Cover inscribed: Messrs. Birchett and Sturdivant inspectors and the inspectors of any of the warehouses at Blandford or Petersburg.

I wrote Captain Gill requesting him to serve the summons. Bob is to inform you of the circumstances.

I shall endeavor to execute your orders.

For want of a number of Colonel Mumford's papers and books, deprives me of making a transmit of the full amount of his debts.

My brother William wishes to sell the property. It may bring more at this time in certificates than hereafter. Our object is to discharge the debts of the company.

Mr. Campbell's horses will be sent as directed. I can not procure the fowls. Your plantation at Green Creek is in fine order. Business is in very good order.

I am sorry Harvey can not accommodate you. I will ask Stow and the Doctor will inform you.

The bearer will pay you £22.10.6 on my note in your possession.

Captain Stone is in Nansemond with a fine sloop which has good accommodations for you. I wish to accompany you to Bermuda. Send the horses down. Trade very dull.

Bass, Tanner, and Company v. John Randolph will come to trial next court. I gave Colonel Robertson the papers relative to the cause. He cannot find these papers. Look over your papers and see if you have them. I have 5 collectors out and am in hopes to raise the sum in 15 or 20 days.

I will not be able to be at Chesterfield Court to join Mr. Eppes security for Mr. Hylton to make Mr. Moseley a good title for the land sold him. What has been done on Rowland's bond against Duvall?

Please do what you can with the note of Samuel Davies and Company. Bring suit against them.

I have a good prospect of making you 20 or 25 thousand pounds of tobacco this year. I hope to make 3 or 4 hundred barrels of corn.

I think it will be proper for Captain Robert Caldwell to take a protest against Captain Danear for the 31 hogsheads of tobacco belonging to Samuel Payne and Company.

We are happy you have found a good passage to Bermuda. Captain Morgan expected that you would accompany him.

You will have timely notice to forward here such articles as you wish to have conveyed down by water. I will wait on you with the time of embarkation. I have prepared the Brig for your reception.

I have sent you my horse for 30£ though I had to give 35 for one not so good. Please send someone to help put up the log house. If I don't get the houses up, I will lose 10 or 12 thousand pounds of tobacco.

Our friend Innes has been with me ten days, but continually sick. McClurg has attended him. If you can come here, I will not attempt to get to Matoax. If you come here, we will have witnesses to the different deeds.

When can we expect you down? I am afraid Donald Campbell will not be here in time for me to take passage with you. I am in want of the horses.

I will wait on you with W. Browder to draw up an answer to R. Atkinson's bill in chancery against us.

The crew found a leak in the Brig and it has been stopped. I hope to send down the remainder of my cargo tomorrow and you can ship your baggage with it.

Both vessels of Stow's are gone. I spoke to Joseph Stow and asked him if he was going to Bermuda. I told him I wanted to get passage for you and your family.
