Scope and Contents The letters of recommendation should be sent soon. Badly stained.

Scope and Contents Encloses his letter to Mr. Dew, and Judge Tucker's to the Visitors. Thinks should get letters from Mr. Geo. Loyall, Dr. Wilson, Dr. Baylor, and Mr. Jno. Tazewell. Will send the letters the end of May. Will go to Williamsburg before July 5. While it is strange that most of the letters are from Democrats, "it would be hard to find a Whig, whose letters I would care about, in Norfolk." His Democratic leaning might go against him since "Wm and Mary has been a sort of Whig political school... ever since the proclamation." Feels his father should not write on the last sheet of the letter since some of the students love to pry.
