Containers:
Box 49, Folder 8
Scope and content:

Was supposed to accompany delegate from Henry County to visit Tucker but 'being disappointed in the arrival of Juba and his family that I directed the Overseers to have here by this time if possible. I have ordered Juba and his family and the young fellow Cyphax to be sent on, and if i can prevail on Queen to consent to leave Roanoke when I return home I will avail myself of an early opportunity to send her to you. I am truly proud you have got Juba's consent to go to you, as he will be better off as far as he is concerned and it will be great relief to me, though he has always behaved with the strictest propriety to me, he will occasionally get drunk and get into a difficulty with the Overseer and require my interference to get him out of the scape.
