LETTER CVI.

I wrote to you yesterday, from Georgetown, enclosing
a draft of the Bank of Columbia on the Bank of
Pennsylvania for two hundred dollars. As soon as you can
leave Philadelphia, I shall expect you in Virginia. Let me
know, that I may send horses to meet you in Richmond, and
address your letter to Farmville. I regret that I have heard
so little from you of late; for the letter by Mr. Weir never
came to hand. I reached this place about an hour ago, half
dead with fatigue and rheumatism, with which I have been
tortured beyond measure, during the latter part of the winter;
especially the last ten days. I left Mr. and Mrs. G. in
Washington. They will, probably, reach Philadelphia in
the course of a week from this time, and will be in your
neighbourhood. I trust that you will see them. I expect
Randolph with you. My best regards to Mrs. Clay. I want
to write to her, but cannot at present.

I met Mr. Stanford here: he desires his respects to you.
