LETTER CX.

I left Dr. Randolph's yesterday morning, and
reached this place about five o'clock. He requests that you
will call upon him on your way home, and pressed me to
mention it to you not as an ordinary matter of course invitation.

I went to-day to Prince Edward Court, and found the
good people of that county as cordial to me as ever. Their
countenances spoke the feeling of their hearts towards me.

It is possible that Mrs. G. may not have left Philadelphia.
Do not forget to speak to her of me; to recall me to her recollection—although,
I trust, that is unnecessary. Tell her

that I shall feel eternally obliged to my friend Mercer for
the fidelity with which he executed my request. In short,
be as much with her as possible, that when we meet, we
may talk of her, and that you may comprehend her excellence.
