At the request of my mother Mrs. Jennings, I thank you for the two barrels of flour and two kegs of crackers.

Mr. Scott said that he had forwarded my check for dividends to you. Please send it to me. I fear that I will be bankrupt.

Distressed that you did not receive my letter of June 1815. It was written a few days after Mr. Skipwith left for France. Our crops are promising in sugar and cotton. It is for the children that we are retaining the estate. Sorry to hear of Col. Skipwith's death and the others. My sons are at an academy in Wilkes County, Ga. Our daughters are at an academy in Paris.

Mr. Allison has business in Richmond on Wednesday. I will come with him and see Mrs. Tucker. Is she well?

You can procure a loan from the Farmers Bank. It will be difficult to get.

Thank you for your attention to my request. Even though it imposed a task repugnant to your feelings.

Your strictures on the defects of History and the causes of them are well founded. I doubt whether future historians will do better. There is only one History free from error. It is instructive to all. Wish they had been more particular in details. Will learn what we wish to know after death. Whcih I feel cannot be far off.

Had hoped I would be well enough to set off for Norfolk. I am still too weak. Show this note to Tazewell and Taylor.

Cannot alter the decision given you.

You will receive my check for $1150 and an order on Edward Waddey for $850. This is for the representatives of Dr. John Gilchrist's estate. The estate was mortgaged to me to satisfy a loan which I made him in his lifetime.

I have found a man who will sell you oats at 3/6. If you want them, let me know.

I sent your last quarter salary by mail to Williamsburg on October 7. Hereafter it will be sent to Mr. Dandridge.

Sympathy in loss of children. Col. Morton also sympathsizes as does Dr. Dudley. Live here in solitude. Saw Mr. Coalter in August. Extract of letter from Benjamin Watkins Leigh.

Memo about writing to George Tucker in Richmond upon subject mentioned in letter. Included on 1816 September 24 letter from Dr. Thomas Tudor Tucker to St. George Tucker.

Received Mr. Whann's check for $450 to be placed to your credit.

I hope my sister is better. The report of your children was gratifying. We received the flour and crackers. Heard from our sister in Tooting.

Mr. Waddey paid the order. Major Shadforth sent me his power of attorney.

Secured for you the crackers and pilot bread.

John Cocke wrote me that my daughter is not too well. Dr. Everette from Richmond has gone to visit her. My son is still ill and I hate to leave him.

I regret your indispostion. Take care of yourself.

My husband (Gouverneur Morris) died. David Ogden has swindled us out of everything. Sam Ogden, his father, sold his son northern land for $85,000. My husband became his security. Mr. Moss Kent who is helping me in the estate affairs tells me we shall lose $140,000. Governeur cries to see his father. Am having a vault made so when I die I can be put beside him.

Thank you for your favors. I have heard from my brother in Washington. James is settled at College.

By a representative from Indiana he received a letter from Alexander Stuart who says that Beverley and his wife are well and bear their misfortune with becoming fortitude. His letters are filled with love and solicitude. Uncle Tucker is well.

Note requesting his presence tomorrow at 4:00. (On back note from Randolph, declining as he has to leave town to take his seat in Congress, 1816 December 6.

Sent him some documents today. The compensation bill, a Pandora's box, is before them again. Voted against it as he thinks father would have done. Shall vote against Governor Barbour's proposal to amend the C. U. S. Some reason's were published, but his brother's (John Randolph). being in Congress was also a reason. Expects his to again be a candidate. No news from Beverley.
