I will give 6/ for 60 pounds delivered. Half the money paid on delivery and the other in 60 days. Included Tucker's answer, 1794 October 3.

Mr. Grymes was not tried as there was only one judge at the Court. We thought he would stand a better chance for a fair trial at another court.

The proposal differs from the substance of our conversation. States his proposals. Copy of Letter. On letter from George Lang to Tucker, 1794 October 3.

Thank you for the bacon. Nathaniel Tucker and his wife will soon increase their family. Poor Richard Randolph. What has he suffered.

Enclosed is last will and testament to be left in Tucker's care. Hopes to be remembered should scalping knife of tawney tenant of the wilderness prevent his return.

I have been very sick since brother Ellyson left us. I am making little Tudor some stockings of blue wool and cotton. We have scandal enough of our own so keep all yours to yourself. My brother Charles is quite tired of the honor of being one of Mrs. Taylor's lifeguard. His troop was sent 45 miles out of their way while the Catpain diverted himelf at the Bolling Green.

Can you lend me four or five dollars? As soon as Mr. Rose receives my letter, I hope he will relieve my distress.

Mr. Roane was elected judge of the court of appeals. The causes of Mr. Randolph have been tried. Presentation to the bills to Mr. John Randolph was completely proved. However, a defeat in procedure caused the plaintiffs to be nonsuited.
