Received his of 12th. Complied with some requests. Brown wishes to strike 10 lines out of J.P. debate on Livingston's motion still before House. Hourly accounts of British insults to sailors. Reports of peace negotiations between French and Sardini Livingston's motion passed by 62 to 37.

I received £20.7

I have received 3£ in part due for the wood. I never meant to take less than a shilling.

Colonel Newton left Tucker's letter requesting self to purchase bill on London. Cannot get such a small amount for less than 33 1/3 exchange. Colonel Hamilton has sufficient supply of money and not so anxious for drawing at current. Newton left order on Andrews for £44.7.6 with self. Self wishes further instructions.

Hopes present strong majority will overthrow Hamiltonian party and rescue president from their clutches. What does he think of Spanish treaty appearing first in Pittsburgh Gazette Discusses Jay's treaty.

The articles arrived safely. Chats about family and friends in the island.

Wish to lease part of lower end of wharf which was formerly Donald Campbell's. Understands price is one guinea per foot. Wish enough footage to build commodious warehouse. Very anxious to begin immediately. Will come up to close the lease. Signed: Samuel Moseley and Thomas Blanchard.

Asks Tucker to come early on Sunday. Does not know Carrington but would be glad for Tucker to bring him. Is well supplied with corn, oats and hay and claims right of taking charge of his horses during his short stay at Winchester.

Sympathizes wih his affliction (death of son Tudor Tucker, c.1795?) Now five sons in East Indies. Heard that brother Thomas Tudor Tucker made trip to Philadelphia.

I have given James Brown £60. Will furnish Peyton with the necessary pocket money.

Printed. Enclosure. Petition for legislature to fund indents obtained by Tucker from Commodore Alexander Gillon. Contains affidavits dated 1795 Oct. 28 by Thomas Tudor Tucker and John Woodrop.

His manuscript observations in geography and natural history and other pamphlets are received with pleasure by self and Massachusetts History Society. Is pleased he accepted election Society made him. It has been forced to suspend publications for the present. Congratulates him on decision in Congress of the British treaty. Self also worked for it.

I am not speaking to a person whom Richard's charity introduced here. Mrs. Dudley convinced me that I alone would see her entirely unveiled. She is against her father and everyone connected with him. Discusses Judith Randolph further.

Glad he is fixed in Williasmburg for summer. Hopes Mrs. Allison's future conduct will justify act of judges Prentis, Tyler and Nelson. Only time can prove self was not jilted as Cliftonians believe. Sends seven pair of stockings knit by Captain Digge's widow at 4s/pair. Sucky (Sukey) Bowdoin asked for Tucker's poetical epistle which self will not send without his permission. Wishes she could have been at party at Mrs. Charlton's.

I am sending the terms on which Mr. Campbell will undertake the publication of your work. He is the only printer to whom I have spoken. Congress convened today.

Sends letter from brother (Thomas Tudor Tucker) whom he left at Philadelphia the 18th. Some instructions to self from Williamsburg, Accomack and Northampton were published here. Had people known all, they would not support treaty and beloved President who is scapegoat of Hamilton and Jay. Treaty has seeds of war.

I expected before this to forward the books, but the printer omitted one sheet. As soon as the binding is finished, I have ordered 60 sets to be sent to your care. I have seen your plan for an edition of Blackstone with comments of your own. I am glad you have undertaken such a work.

Arrived here easily in 11 hours. Will return Brutus tomorrow. Enjoyed his visit with Tuckers.

Mother is better and thanks him for things she sent. Had company last evening and tried the bath this morning though she was much frightened at first. Note by Mrs. Lelia Skipwith Carter Tucker.

I wish George to be a distinguished character. I think he is fortunate in his choice of Miss Farley. I hope this will not interfere with his studies.

I received your letter addressed to the Rev. Jedidiah Morse. I am glad my youthful residence contains an inhabitant able to rescue it from such a false and infamous misrepresentation. It has greatly prejudiced me against the book.

I enclose you an estimate of repairs to one house. Mr. Andrews did not pay your order. Shall I go on or wait until you come down?

Since Judy's irreparable loss she has withdrawn the veil entirely and acted not only with the utmost ingratitude but horrid inhumanity before the most servile adulation was practiced. Poor woman I do indeed "compassionate her and all her family."

Neglected thanking for favor by Nelson. Court was then sitting. Purchased plantation in neighborhood of Staunton. Heard by letter from Mrs. Wills that Bet (Elizabeth Tucker) extremely ill. Mrs. Davenport and Mrs. Coalter well. Thanks for pamphlet.

Thanks him for kindness to self and children. Waits impatiently for September 1st. Much on which he can advise her. He knows the unfortunate situation of John St. George Randolph (mentally afflicted). Sincere affection to all.
