Brother Sammy Shore? returned from London in the Slauter few weeks ago. Wishes commission for him in army which Congress is about to raise. Wishes Tucker to give him an introductory letter to Beverley Randolph. May be directed to Sammy at Mr. Pendleton's. Thinks letter through governor to president is best mode.

"the only remaining traces of them in the state courts which are not transferred to the lex scriptu are to be found in the proceedings of the Courts of chancery and of admiralty." Note is in Tucker's writing.

Exchanged his certificate at 7/3 in the pound. Paid Rind $10. B. H. is there. Mrs. N. is very well. He mentioned nothing of judgment of Richard Randolph's executors against those of Judith Randolph? about which self wrote some time ago.

Glad Tucker is safely home. Brother Thomas Tudor Tucker safely recovered from influenza. Encloses papers. One has account of piece written by wife Margaret (Lowther) Page. Enclosure not present.

Can you let the bearer have a dollar? When will you collect any money?

Piece Tucker sent him to insert in the Museum self gave to Mr. Scott of the House, who is president of a Society at Fort Pitt similar to the one in Virginia and Philadelphia for the abolition of slavery. Thought it improper for self to appear in such business. Written from his seat in the House.

Acknowledged his favors by Mr. Coleman last week. Can get no money for estate debts. Hopes soon to make him and Governor Beverley Randolph a payment. Has been able to do nothing with Robert Armistead. Regards to children and Maria Rind. Theodorick Randolph and Jack (John Randolph) are well at Matoax.

What success have you had in the execution business? Do you know where I could sell 2 or 3 horses.

Intended coming to Richmond, but heard Tucker was coming to Matoax. Had the ague and fever. Brother Richard received letter from Henry St. George Tucker which was well written for child of his age. Purchased from Carnegie Book Shop, February 1974. Presson Fund.

Please give the old man a little money for the market.

Suggestions of yesterday may be carried out by Tucker's rejecting the charge of 8,000 pounds of tobacco exhibited in account of Minor and Gill as having settled same with self. Admits that friendship with Major Gill prevents self having recourse to law so cannot get money any other way. Withdraws request if same degree of frienship exhists between Tucker and Gill.

Can you send me £20. Am much in need of money.

Received the £19.14.0. I find I don't have enough to pay for the two carpets. Can I have £10 more?

Solomon Cumbo informed me that you intended sending for some plank and scantling. I don't have either. I can supply you with boards, pails, and shingles.

The partnership of Wills and John Cowper has been disolved. I consent to an arbitration with you. Am willing to take it out of court and let five merchants unconnected with either party decide.

Please pay my tailor, John Banks.

Need 2 or 3 dollars. Paid an estate debt with the money you sent me.

I am sorry for poor Theodorick. Polly Wilson and her child have been sick. Mr. Baker gives me some hopes of seeing you today. When will you leave Richmond?

If you have received the money you expected, may I have it. If not give the bearer a few dollars.

Cousin Billy writes for her. Thanks him for things sent to Mr. Dawson. Linen may be kept for other purposes, but crocus will be better for Anthony and others to work in garden. Children all well except for cold. William Munford sends greetings.

Let the bearer have some money for market. I have a mare I would like to sell you. She is only four years old.

Again employs scribe (Cousin Billy?) to tell him they have no flour. Mr. Coleman says none can be had from mill and that corn is very bad. Children well. Sends teaspoons by Mr. Wickham.

Let the bearer have a few dollars. Have you procured the sum yet?

Give the bearer an order for two barrels of flour. We have none.

I hear St. George Tucker, Jr. is going to Virginia soon. I was glad to hear the picture of my beloved daughter arrived safely. Received a letter from Tommy since he arrived in New York.
