The memorandum of articles to be sent to Bermuda will be filled. The vessel goes next week.

My son is improving daily. I have not heard from Bermuda for some time. I hope my brother in Washington is well (Thomas Tudor Tucker).

Within 170 miles of journey's end. Embarked in family boat. Horses and carriages into another two being lashed together to make a square of about 25 feet. Worked with two oars. Bought boat from Monroe of Caroline. Observed among his Negroes Mr. Coalter's Barry. Lost his life the very next day in street of Washington, being run over by a wagon. Lashed to large boat loaded with timber. Traveled 300 miles in four days. After leaving limestone, traveled 600 miles in eight days.

We are promising a visit to Clifton next autumn. I hope we get to see you. Gouverneur is beautiful. Mrs. White of Brunswick has been with us for several days. Kidder Randolph dwells on the meekness of Jack's (John Randolph) temper.

Hears reports of his activity in Richmond. Family has all been ill. A Mr. Braxton saw Beverley as he was descending the Ohio. He speaks of Beverley's lands as richer than their Battletown lands. Braxton is settling in St. Louis County, Mo. and bought 6000 for $3000.

Have entered your box of china at the Custom House and delivered it to Mr. Waddey. The duty is $19.06.

Your letters did not arrive in time to be put on the vessel for Bermuda. I could not get the articles on board either. Am sending a box left by William Dixon for you.

Enclosing a copy of the account due by you to the estate of Samuel Pleasants.

My duty would not permit me to let your things by duty free.

Hope Mrs. Tucker is well. Mr. Le Ray's family will be here soon and bring some domestics from France. He is proprietor of Chaumont castle on the Loire. Our child grows in grace and favor.

In home Robinson rented for us, fourteen miles from St. Louis. Has bargained for a lot in suburbs. Will build home which will in future serve as kitchen. Has not purchased farm. My good old granny too is well and contented as heart can wish.

The marshall, Mr. Mann, after hearing of certain persons charged with piracy and the seizure of this vessel thought his official services might be needed. Mr. Mann will execute any order which you may give him.

Sorry Mrs. Tucker is not well. Maybe a northern visit would help her. The waters of Saratoga would help her. I hope that heaven will be kind to Saint George Randolph.

I thought maybe you were at Burton Springs. My wife is going to Bremo for the season. People from the upper country may find relief in health from travelling to the seaboard.

Concerns a case before Tucker relating to a meeting and revolt on the schooner Romp of Baltimore. Two of those accused of revolt themselves took out writs charging their accusers with acts of piracy against vessels of Spain and Portugal with whom the U. S. is at peace. Tucker ordered the ship's papers be brought to him. The Romp was originally built in 1814. Its dimensions indicate that it was a privateer.
