Thanks for letters by Captain Young and Captain Howe and for hams. Hopes his family recovered from smallpox. Sent papers of Bass Tanner and Company by George Tucker. Has heard nothing from lawyers in Carolina or Philadelphia for two years. Uncle Jenings died. Colonel Jenings disappointed in his children, especially Letty. Mentions Mrs. Daniel Tucker, Mr. James Tucker, Caty Hall, Mrs. Fowles, Doctor John Gilchrist, Aunt Hinson, Mrs. Tudor. Bridge is deserted, people going to Hamilson

I hope the Cumberland air will be better for you. Mrs. Dudley’s dislike for me has turned into regard. I hope your next circuit will lead you to this neighborhood.

Thank you for the hams and flour. Sorry Fanny is ill. Your thought of sending her to Bermuda would be fine. Tommy wrote that he had arrived in New York May 22. I spent a few weeks lately in St. George’s. Polly Bascome is married.

We are enclosing $265 in bank notes.

Mr. Monroe told me this morning about the publication of your tract. Dixon is most likely to print it well. If the pamphlet consists of 80 octavo pages, but I find it will not exceed 60 or 70. I am enclosing Dixon’s proposals. I can apply to Nicholas or Lyon. I have taken Mr. Myer’s house. Please send my traveling desk. Enclosure.

I regret that Richmond is not in your route to Fredericksburg. I can not find the book you want. If you approve Dixon’s proposals I will advance him the money. On back another letter see: George Tucker, 1800 August 8.

Dixon will print the essay on the condition you propose. I have given him the manuscript. I hope to get my books soon. On back of George Tucker’s letter of 1800 August 6.

You will receive 350 bushels of coal. Note: Mr. Tucker not being home Robert Greenhow received the coal and the freight being £5.16.8.

It has been impossible to make any arrangements respecting Blackstone’s Commentaries. I am engaged in printing a quarto Bible. Your terms were not perfectly satisfactory.

My books arrived. Dixon had prepared 16 pages, but I objected to the page, the margin, and the type all being too small.

Is staying with Cousin George who is now playing chess with Bernard Carter and Beverley. Horse is galled and he will hire a horse to go on up as expense of staying in Richmond would be more.

I received the dividend of $9 per share on 48 shares in your name five of which in trust for your daughter. I have not been able to invest. The Marine Insurance Company has for some time been in the market.

Enjoyed your letter. Please send me some garden seeds of Country growth and some fruit trees. Thank you for the hams. Lists trees and seeds.

You will receive 689 bushels of coal.

Could not get a horse in Richmond and forced to drive this one at a walk. Took four days for trip. Tudor Randolph is a fine boy. His mother, (Judith Randolph) seems happy in her remote situation. Jack seems very despondent. Self believes it is induced by an attachment, although he has never said so.

I have a license to practice law. Some men tried to disgrace me by accusing me of a malpractice. I was presented with a warrant for willful and corrupt perjury. I enclose the warrant. On February 9, I was taken under custody to Charlottesville. They could find no proof so I was entered into a recognizance in the penalty of $2000. I gave the recognizance and appeared. I was expelled from the bar. Enclosures.

Regrets father’s earache. Hopes he does not have another for 30 years. Asks about Charles. Family here well.
