I have this moment received your favor of May 19. I was induced before the reception to take up a few goods of Mesrs’ Shelton & Harris. Their desires that I shoud deal with them, their offers to furnish little sums of cash, for necessaries which require cash, Mr. Sheltons conduct on his disappointment, with respect to the money due for a quarters board, the difficulty of getting to...
A pressure of affairs of various kinds on my return home, prevented my going into a consideration of your letter of Dec. 8. for a considerable time, and on taking it up, I found the information, which your brother had been able to obtain, defective in so many particulars that I concluded to let it lie till I could see him in Richmond. Several circumstances however having delayed and still...
I recieved yesterday your favor of the 11th. inst. and imagine that soon after it’s date you received mine of Apr. 26. on the subject of your lands. I am happy to learn that it is the opinion of a person learned in the laws of that state, that the lands may be recovered. As to the kind of process to be instituted, the lawyers of the state must be the best judges. Were I in your place, I would...
Agreeable to your request I have examined the office of Lunenburg , and find that no conveyance was executed, by your father, or rather recorded in the Court of that County, between the year 1750. and 1757. I find from the Clerk of the County, that in 1752. Halifax was taken from Lunenburg , and Bedford in the year 1754. The Clerk supposes that the land in question, lies in the County of...
At the time your favor of Nov. 11 . came to hand I had not yet recieved an answer from Genl. Smith. It came some time after and I now inclose it to you. You will percieve that from a different construction of the same clause in the constitution in the superior and inferior courts, you would be refused in the former and admitted in the latter the first year. You would therefore not be merely...
It is with pleasure that I resume my pen to write to you after a silence of some years . It has not been from a want of respect, or from the smallest diminution of that affectionate regard I have ever had for you that I have thus long been silent. There are but few circumstances that coud have restrained me till this period, but a conviction that nothing which I coud communicate on my part was...
Your’s of Jan. 17. 1801. has been duly recieved. about 7. years ago a judgment for about £2000. was obtained against mr Wayles’s estate, and came on me at such short notice that I was much embarrassed to raise suddenly my proportion of it. while under that embarrasment I offered for sale the tract of land in Bedford which is the subject of your letter, as also a part of my lands in Albemarle....
Your favor of Feby. 1st. has come safe to hand, and I acknoledge myself highly gratified with the receipt, since it has enabled me to explain your vote for Johnson in a satisfactory manner to most who have heard your reasons. The news of your election to the presidential chair, has been the source of great, and general joy. The people have now the satisfaction of seing the man of their choice...
I have before me a letter from my brother to you dated Mar. 4th. and I feel anxious to acquit myself of the imputations to which that letter subjects me. I might perhaps deem it necessary to apologyze to you for what may be called an intrusion but for an assurance you have often given that you shoud be pleased to hear from me at any time I might think proper to write. Under this privilege...
I have for some time past intended to write to you, but have putt it from time to time till the present moment. The desire of retaining unimpaired the regard and esteem of a man whose good opinion wou’d give to my existence additional value, induces me to address to you this letter. In truth I have been apprehensive that a letter written to you some time past upon the subject of which we...
