Benjamin Waller, Williamsburg to St. George Tucker, 1783 Box 10, Folder 13

I received a letter concerning a debt due me for twenty years from William Broadnax. His nephew, William Broadnax took the estate at his death and he gave the bond in your possession. The debt was once under the care of Mr. Briggs. My son gave you a note of Mr. Yate's as security for Wilson, a barber who ran away and carried off a new wig of mine. My son says you doubted the note was of Mr. Yate's hand. When I refused to let Wilson have the tenement, he told me Mr. Yates the then usher of the College would be his security. When you receive the debts, I hope to hear from you.

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
