Thomas Mann Randolph to Thomas Jefferson, 30 July 1821
From Thomas Mann Randolph
Richmond 5½ P.M. July 30. 1821.
Dear Sir,
The absent member of the Literary Board arrived yesterday, and the one who had been in town since Wednesday morning last is now absent. What the result may be I cannot divine. I was at Varina yesterday, but returned last night, and shall take care to be in the way constantly myself. But this last spring I was here 3 weeks trying & failing every day to have a Council. with very sincere attachment
