Has not been able to get possession of House she has hired. Hears his Court adjourns day after tomorrow. Hopes to see him. Asks him to come to Mr. Williams. (This may refer to the house Mrs. Page was considering running as a boarding house in Richmond.)

When I left York and came here to take charge of the office of Commissioner of Loans at $1000. per year, I thought I could live well. I have to rent a house and furnish it. Therefore I can't pay Mrs. Page.

Am here to appeal the Chancellor's decision in the case of my lot. Mr. Tompkins desires to buy the lot for £910. Wilson Cary told me about the way you have been treated. Including Tucker's answer, 1809 July 3.

The disinclination to study medicine which you exposed for the first time at Mrs. Gatliffe's. Let me know what prompted your wish to decline going to Edinburgh. My wish to bestow upon you the best education which this country or Europe could afford.

Am waiting for the arrival of my family from Amsterdam. When they arrive, I will leave Mrs. Skipwitth's mother and 2 or 3 of the children here and proceed with the rest of my family to Washington and then to the upland part of Virginia to visit you.

Have come to terms on the sale of the lot. You have decidedly the vantage ground at present and can only lose it by changing the course you have hitherto found yourself able to pursue.

Have remitted $714 the amount of your dividends to the Bank of Virginia.

I hope the parcel I now send to you reaches you. James is recovered and will shortly go to school. Am sending the poems to you.

Pleased my proposal is granted. Necessity for my remaining more than two years at college as I have attended only mathematical school. Difference you may better understand from the Bishop. Need $10 for paying small debts, I have contracted wish to go to Norfolk next week. Copy of St. George Tucker's reply, July 8, included.

Reasons for Alexander's going to Edinburgh. Presumed that as you have been at college near 2 years, you have been through usual course of study, few remain longer. This period in history demonstrates necessity of man's being able to place his reliance on himself. Example of your excellent grandfather, Doctor Campbell. Advantages of a profession.

Received a letter from Captain Shadforth. Empowering me to receive some money from you on his account. He has made you an offer for the property. Including Tucker's answer, 1809 July 21.
