The enclosed letter will introduce you to Count Barziza, Venitian nobleman. He has confused me with our friend the late Bishop Madison. He is here to claim an estate in Virginia. I do not know the details of the matter and am referring him to you. He is accompanied by an Italian friend who speaks our language fluently. Please return Mr. Jodrill's letter.

At request of Judge Cooper, he wishes the enclosed to be delivered to the trustees of William and Mary College. They may address him at Gettysburg, Adams County, Pennsylvania. Hopes they offer him a position he will accept. Endorsed: Answered December 13th and returned the paper which he enclosed.

Glad Mrs. Tucker is out of all danger. Mrs. Applewhite is dangerously ill. Received your check for $234.25. Am enclosing the codicil to my will. Did not hear of poor Tudor's death until we get here.

Encloses copy of the message. Health improves. Uncle Thomas Tudor Tucker is well as ever. Is comfortably established in vicinity of expected place of session and will not be exposed to bad weather or night air.

Account of traveling on road to St. Louis. Making twenty miles per day.

I have heard that Mrs. Byrd has asked you to either sell or rent for her, her house and lot in Williamsburg. I offered to rent it from her for $100 a year upon the condition that she let me have the necessary repairs made and deduct them from the rent. I would still like to rent it.

Met the alleged Miss Brent at son-in-law's (Joseph Cabell) and ascribed changes in her to time and ill health. Had not seen her since 1801. Heard rumors and then proof that this woman was Polly Fagan, an impostress. Regrets any trouble caused to real Miss Brent. Regards of family.

It is not my intention to buy (Anna) Byrd's house. I will take the house at $100 per year and make the repairs myself. Carter Burwell has offered to rent me his houlse and lot which is in complete order. I wouldl appreciate an immediate answer as I have to return to York between one and two today. Included is Tucker's answer.

I am willing to consider myself the tenant of Mrs. Byrd's house from the time that Doctor Smith gives it up. I cannotg say that I can put someone in it at that time. I cannot be bound to return the house in the same order in which I received it. The house and lot are in a state of decay. Included Tucker's answer.

Glad the rent will not commence until March 1. I hope by that time I will be able to take possession. Including Tucker's answer.

State terms of which he will take the house. Including Tucker's answer.
