William Withers to St. George Tucker, 1782

Containers:
Box 9, Folder 7
Scope and content:

At the last court I set Thompson up at public sale, but no more was bid than 102£ which was far short of your price so I sent him back to the plantation. Mr. Stark wants to hire him for 2,000 pounds tobacco till next January. Phil may be hired next court day if you approve. We are so busy I cannot make any more shoes this year. Your wheat is badly hurt with weavils.
