I spend all my leisure moments with Mr. Tucker. I heard Mr. Warden argue the case of McCall v. Peachy. I was curious to hear Mr. Wirt’s reply. Mr. Wirt’s eloquence was of a superior kind to any I had heard before. Brother Henry is at Staunton.

I hope to spend two or three weeks with Fanny this summer. I am sending you two William and Mary College lottery tickets to keep for me. My brother sent them to me.

Recommendation of (Henry St. George) Tucker, upon his resignation as accountant general of India. Enclosed in letter of Henry Tucker, 1806 January 1, , to St. George Tucker.

Royall Locket requested me to write you concerning a piece of business. In 1784 or 1785 you brought suit in the name of Samuel Burton against William Hill in Chesterfield county Court. After suit was brought he purchased the bond of Samuel Burton who gave him an order on you for the money. Mr. John Cogbill now demands payment. I hope you can explain the business.

I received your letter to Mr. Ast who happened to be absent. When he returns, I will deliver your letter.

I was unwell and could not write by Cousin William. The session of the District Court has not yet affected the town. Shanon’s trial attracted a great number of people. Mr. Parker breakfasted with us several times. Mr. Wirt is staying at Mr. Bassett’s with his wife and child. Mr. Allison spent a few days with us.

Your favor to Charles was shewn me this evening. I observe the contents and have been working on it. We will enclose our proceedings.

Please forward the enclosed to J. R. Our bank shares were all taken yesterday. The whole stock allowed us was taken by residents of the town.

A list of names and number of shares to be purchased in the Virginia Bank.

May have been disappointment in securing bank shares. Highest subscription may be brought from twenty to ten. If Tucker decides to use borrowed names, he should send self a list with a general power of attorney. Time must elapse before any transfer can be effected.

Arrived here from Bizarre. St. George Coalter mashed thumb in door. Children well. Sister Fanny eating like a plowman. Hopes Goochland journey will improve mother’s (Mrs. Davenport ?) health. John Coalter is in north mountain and self staying in the office.

Encloses letter of attorney for him to buy two shares in Virginia Bank for each of them and transfer them to St. George Tucker. Contains 30 signatures.

The weather was so bad that I did not stop at new Kent Courthouse. I obtained many powers for you at Norfolk.

Please get me some garden seeds for the fall crop. Note included by Cornelia L. Skipwith.

Encloses letter. Is fatigued. Regrets that he causes them so much pain and assures him it is involuntary. (enclosure lacking).

Would like to see sister (Anne Frances Bland (Tucker) Coalter) and niece (Frances Lelia Coalter). Enjoyed Nathaniel Beverley’s Tucker visit. Will not murmur at St. George’s decision (not to allow Beverley to remain with her). St. George (Randolph) recovered from accident. Scar will not be as bad as expected. Hears he is still in Richmond.

Mr. and Mrs. Grynes from Brandon called on us. Mr. Bassett obtained the signatures you requested me to get. All who subscribed before to your letter subscribed either to Mr. Bassett’s or Bishop’s.

You will receive a power of attorney to subscribe for two shares in the Bank of Virginia.
