Thomas Jefferson Randolph to Wilson Cary Nicholas (ca. 1796–1828)

My dear Wilson

I Enclosed you a letter to your Aunt Carr from James Carr covering a draft of $500 as he says. It navigated a dangerous coast when it came thro my hands.My Grandfather send his best respects to you and politely represents to you that their there is a certain stump of a limb of a tree projecting much to his annoyance over the ferry boat sluice above the [. . .] mouth of the creek preventing there the passage of his carriage and obliging him to disembark in the river at manyfold risk and inconvenience and presuming no doubt from this suggestion that you will have the aforesaid limb cut away before he passes again early next week, he says it can be done in fifteen minu minutes.

I have just recollected that you ought to have sub—pœnad in Goodwins & Thomass cases Goodwins comes on the second monday in October. You must send up for them.

Yours affectionately
Th J Randolph
