Received his letter concerning exchanging time of holding court. Submitted to committee and a bill agreed upon which he thinks will suit him. Little hope of success for Poccock's applications. British fleet appeared in Bay. Sends abstract of evidence taken before House of Commons. Wife sends regards.

Am returning the tobacco note you gave me. I did not take the spoons and knives as Charles Carter had taken charge of them. We leave for home tomorrow.

My wife (Ann Cary Randolph Morris) was delivered yesterday evening of a son. He is fat and strong. His mother is exhausted, feeble, and feverish. Congratulations on your appointment as district judge.

Concerning bank loans to U. S. government.

Do the needful with the enclosed petition.

The course you recommend for the unhappy difference between Charles Carter and myself seems proper. How can I avoid seeing him if I go to Corotoman? Did Charles sign the paper? Am waiting for Mr. Cocke to get the full answers. I have to hasten up the country on account of my election. I hear troops have landed in Mathews.

Printed letter concerning proceedings of the 12th Congress.

Have been busy with a garrison tower. We are to be exposed to a good deal of trouble from the war. I shall not leave. The Governor is still here. Shall send a cask of wine to Skipwith very soon.

Received $5.00 and placed it to your credit. We regret the irregularity with which the Intelligencer reaches you. I don't know what happens.

Will not visit Corotoman until after the election. I think I ought to retain my seat in the Senate. We shall leave here as soon as possible. The bill for raising the taxes just passed the Senate.

$10.00 will pay for the Register from the beginning up to September.

Alot of soldiers are coming in. The General is up to his eyes in work. My son John has offered his services as surgeon to the regiment. My sister has been with us for a month.

List of books and prices in store. Expecting other books from Baltimore.

Have deposited to your credit at the Bank of Virginia $1666.66 and $37.50. Virginia stock is up to 126. Including notes by Susan Bowdoin, April 26 and May 6.

I never received your letter. I have been in the East Indies since 1806. Am forwarding a full power of attorney. Mrs. Shadforth has not received any rent in two years.

The enemy is gathering strength and is advancing. The bay is closed to us. We are all under arms because we saw sixteen boats full of men. Alot of people have left.

Tribute to him written by St. George Tucker.

Have hired a boat and am sending some things to you. I told the skipper if he delivered them safely you would pay him $25. Things are looking badly here.

Gave Mr. Bonsal your memo. It is uncertain whether it will get to Hampton. We received no mail for there yesterday. The enemy has two lines of battle ships and several frigates in Hampton Roads.

Your letter will be attended to.

Sorry to hear of the loss of our dear friend William Nelson. I hope I have not inconvenienced you in asking you to store our goods. Alot of our inhabitants have fled town to the country. We do not know where Cary is.

Three lines of battle ships and two frigates are in Hampton Roads. I heard that two Smithfield schooners were taken yesterday above Newport News. Am worried Cary has been taken prisoner.

Glad my friend Susan's (Bowdoin) affair was adjusted by Mr. Greenhow. Every house here has been dismantled and the people have left. Note by Tucker added, 1813 April 26.

No opportunity has offered to send you the articles ordered.

Some hulks and others will be sunk in the channel. No news from Cary.
