I am glad to hear you have recovered. Thank you for the lard and hams. We have received letters from the young gentlemen in Princeton. We have the promise of some conchs and coral for you.

I received a letter from Dick Randolph. He gave a despiciable description of the Seminary at Princeton. Papa had thought of sending me there. Mr. Ewing embarked for London last August with an intention of taking orders, I suppose, to succeed Mr. Moore. Thomas T. Tucker went to Scotland to his Uncle Todd Bruere's. (Son of Henry and Frances Tucker of Somerset).

St. George Tucker? has gone up the country today. Self was too weak to go. Encloses letter for boys. One from Dick says he is in Philadelphia. The Mr. Francis is same who was here last winter. Sorry for loss of his clothes? Worth advertising for. If cash holds out will get linen and cambrick tomorrow. Asks for news of the city and great men for next year.

The Governor, Mr. Madison, Carrington and H. Lee are re-elected to their offiices. Cyrus Griffin and a Mr. Brown are to fill the vacancies in Congress. The arguments of the Admiralty causes will be tomorrow.

If you do not get better, why don't you come to Bermuda for a visit. Doctor Campbell has been very sick. Fanny Gilchrist is going to marry D. Fit, a young physician of this island. Grandmother Butterfield has sent me some shells for you.

I have just returned from St. George's. It has changed. The card parties were discontinued when Collector Traill was suspended. Miss Gilbert is coming to Virginia with her sister who married Mr. Kerr. (Daughter of Henry and Frances Tucker of Somerset).

Sends this by Mr. Ker, who married Miss Gilbert. Thanks for sweetmeats, though bottles broken. Parent (Henry Tucker) died. Children at school at Mrs. Vades, for want of a good master. Mentions Doctor and Mrs. Campbell, grandmother Butterfield, Aunt Hinson, Mr. Tudor. Asked fishwomen for conches and corals he requested.

Alteration in family since two years. Lost father (Henry Tucker). Regretted not seeing Thomas Tudor Tucker before he left Charlestown for New York. Tom Tucker at St. George gone to Uncle and Aunt Todd in Scotland. Doctor Campbell in a bad way, though said to be better.

Your favorite Miss Jennings was with me yesterday and desires to be remembered to you. She intended to see you while on the continent, but her papa would not accompany her. (Daughter of Henry and Frances Tucker of Somerset).

Glad Tucker will attempt to try his case with Cowper in October term and will employ other counsel. Captain Tucker arrived from London in brig Hector and will go to New York via Tucker Islands. Writes by Mr. Ker who married daughter of Captain John Gilbert.

Recommends bearer John Coalter as tutor. He has been directed to Colonel Yates in Amelia but self thought it duty to inform him of Mrs. Tucker.

I am better today. The young man is here waiting your determination. He is a relation of Arod Stewarts. He wants seven or eight scholars for which he would ask £50. If there were only our children he would charge £30.

I am glad you retrieved your chair box. My cousins Munford and Kennon left me today. I was told that you had been substituted to Mr. Attorney? since your return to Richmond. I hear you spoke in Posey's case four hours.

I had a severe headache yesterday and fever, but am much better today.

I have gone to Bizarre to see about things. The Holcombes can not control the overseer. The overseer has driven off most of the valuable Negroes. Why don't you visit Mr. Harrison before my return?

I have letters from Bermuda. A Mr. Carr (Ker?) of Powhatan went to Bermuda last July and prevailed on two of John Gilbert's daughters to return with him to Virginia. The oldest girl married Mr. Carr. P. T. refused to give me an order for the money, pretending it belonged to some other company.

The court requested me to officiate in Innes absence in the prosecution of Posey. Ronald is now speaking on the subject.  All the admiralty suits are still hanging. I am dining at Beverley's today.

The determination of the Court of Appeals in the case of Pickett v. Claiborne affects me. Mr. Duval is thinking of moving for another hearing. Would you take the case at the common fee and £50 extra if I am released?

Please procure from Mr. Marshall an affidavit or certificate that Hunter, Banks and Company have never paid any part of S. Davies and Company's debt due to Ball (note from J. Marshall saying he could not possibly give a certificate or affidavit on the subject).

I am enclosing several answers agreeable to your direction. I cannot tell you of the business now.

You will receive the affidavit of notice to Mrs. Robertson. There appears to be a mistake in the notice as to the time. Mrs. Robertson desires that her suit be removed.

Our smith waits on you for 200 weight of iron and 10 of steel.

Vessel has just returned from Grenada. I planned to go to Richmond to make inquiries about Mr. Gilchrist's children's losses by the burning of Norfolk. Mr. Pendleton thinks the money has been paid. No person in this country was authorized to receive it.

Captain Sargeant and Mr. Shore procured the things for me. Can you pay them for the articles in the next eight or ten days?

The bill of injunction you drew for me has been two days in the hands of the Chancellor. Please make application to them and deliver the papers to Doctor Leiper.
