&lt;p&gt;Williamsburg December . 22&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;. 1790&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have just returned from Richmond and&lt;br /&gt;received your letter and assure you am much surprised as well as concern&lt;br /&gt;ed at the contents. you may inform M&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt; Norton that the report which has&lt;br /&gt;reached &lt;sup&gt;him&lt;/sup&gt; is altogether without foundation, nor can I imagine how it&lt;br /&gt;cou'd have originated, had my father objected to the Union I shou'd most&lt;br /&gt;certainly have informed him of long since. My father is averse to my marry&lt;br /&gt;ing as soon as I wish, he thinks it wou'd have been to my advantage to&lt;br /&gt;have waited a few years longer before I engaged myself; but he thinks&lt;br /&gt;my choice is as good a one as I cou'd have made, and has not the&lt;br /&gt;smallest objection on that head.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am dear sir&lt;br /&gt;yours respectfully&lt;br /&gt;Warner Lewis Jun&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Pages 2 and 3, blank]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1/5             B&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edmund Randolph Esq&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attorney General for the United States&lt;br /&gt;Philadelphia&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;Philadelphi Dec&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. 6. 1790.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My dear sir -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This morning M&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. Dinwiddie delivered&lt;br /&gt;me your letters, and the two haunches. We are much&lt;br /&gt;obliged to you for them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have had no intercourse with&lt;br /&gt;young W. L., since I received your last upon the&lt;br /&gt;subject, and wrote to him in the usual manner as&lt;br /&gt;to the necessity of his father's consent. It has been&lt;br /&gt;said, that he has intended to come hither for&lt;br /&gt;some months past. I suppose that he has accoun-&lt;br /&gt;ted for the delay to C; but I can hear nothing&lt;br /&gt;from him. The affair is mysterious to us; but&lt;br /&gt;does not seem to make any impression upon&lt;br /&gt;her. So that I presume upon a perfect under-&lt;br /&gt;standing &lt;sup&gt;as&lt;/sup&gt; subsisting between the parties. I&lt;br /&gt;have often thought of writing to the old gentle-&lt;br /&gt;man; and this I shall do, unless and ecclaircisse-&lt;br /&gt;ment comes in due season. You will readily believe,&lt;br /&gt;that so definitive a step, as that which is on&lt;br /&gt;the tongue of report, would never be assented&lt;br /&gt;to by us without your approbation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am my dear sir&lt;br /&gt;y&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. sincere friend&lt;br /&gt;Edm: Randolph.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When W. L: first wrote to me&lt;br /&gt;I answered him, as you know.&lt;br /&gt;His berbal reply thro' Lewis&lt;br /&gt;Nicholas was that his father&lt;br /&gt;had consented.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Pages 2 and 3 blank]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;John H. Norton esq&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winchester&lt;br /&gt;Virginia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;M&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. Dinwiddie&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Phil&lt;sup&gt;a&lt;/sup&gt;. 6 Dec&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt; 1790&lt;br /&gt;Edm&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;. Randolph&lt;br /&gt;Rec&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;. Dec&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt; - Answ&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

              <text>&lt;p&gt;[Page 1]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Philadelphia July 24. 1790&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My dear sir&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your two late letters were delivered&lt;br /&gt;to me on my arrival here. But I did not reach this city,&lt;br /&gt;until monday last, after much fatigue, great expence, and&lt;br /&gt;real Dangers by water. However except my wife and two youn&lt;br /&gt;ger children, who are slightly indisposed, we are all in&lt;br /&gt;pretty good health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I conferred with Betsey on the sub.&lt;br /&gt;ject of W. L's letter. She concurs with me in believing, that&lt;br /&gt;every circumstance in the power of himself promises happi.&lt;br /&gt;ness. But the sense of his father is at least a very desire.&lt;br /&gt;able thing to be known. That he can make an ample pro.&lt;br /&gt;visison for his son, is undoubted; but what prospects from&lt;br /&gt;professional success W. may have, independant of his father's&lt;br /&gt;aid, I shall not decide. The law is overstocked already;&lt;br /&gt;and it will require abilities of a very respectable&lt;br /&gt;rank to obtain a livelihood in that line. I do not mean&lt;br /&gt;by this, that the consent of the old gentleman should be an&lt;br /&gt;indispensable condition ; because a parent can best determine,&lt;br /&gt;how far it may be proper in almost any case to thwart the&lt;br /&gt;affections of his child. But I should suppose, that it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Page 2]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;might be enough to urge W. to bring his father to some&lt;br /&gt;declaration of his assent; and then take such measures, as&lt;br /&gt;prudence may suggest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a house here at 90£&lt;br /&gt;Penn&lt;sup&gt;a&lt;/sup&gt;. Money per annum ; where I shall leave my family&lt;br /&gt;and proceed to New-York.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Y[ou]rs very sincerely&lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp; afftely&lt;br /&gt;Edm: Randolph.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Philadelphia Jan&lt;sup&gt;y&lt;/sup&gt;. 7. 1790.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My dear sir&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thank you greatly for your remembe&lt;br /&gt;rance of our good taste. My acknowledgments for the former&lt;br /&gt;venison were ready for Dinwiddie; but he escaped without&lt;br /&gt;them. Permit me to add tenfold for the buck, receied to-day,&lt;br /&gt;which surpasses all, that I have yet seen of the deer kind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you should have obtained my&lt;br /&gt;former letter, before this reaches you, or it should now be&lt;br /&gt;sent by M&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. Galbraith, you will see, what steps had been&lt;br /&gt;taken, as well as what &lt;sup&gt;had&lt;/sup&gt; not been so. Inclosed is a letter,&lt;br /&gt;written in answer to mine, immediately on the receipt of&lt;br /&gt;yours. I should conclude from thence, that you have&lt;br /&gt;been misinformed. You may be assured, that nothing de&lt;br /&gt;cisive will be done, without full previous notice to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;War seems to be on the point of being&lt;br /&gt;quieted; as a convention s was to be held between the belligerent&lt;br /&gt;powers on the 27&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;. of Nov&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. for that purpose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Congress are about to establish a&lt;br /&gt;bank. The bill has been read in the Senate, where it ori&lt;br /&gt;ginated. The milita-bill, after great debate, was re&lt;br /&gt;-committed, and has been reported in a new shape.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report on the judiciary system will be&lt;br /&gt;printed to-morrow, and changes it radically -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our best respects to M&lt;sup&gt;rs&lt;/sup&gt;. Norton. My wife desires&lt;br /&gt;all that is good to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am my dear sir y&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. affte friend&lt;br /&gt;Edm: Randolph.&lt;/p&gt;

Randolph also writes concerning the new government noting that a national bank has been approved, a militia bill has been reworked and the judiciary much altered in its plan. Further, he notes that the likelihood of war seems diminished as Britain and France have agreed to talks. </text>

If any&lt;br /&gt;of your witnesses should from any cause be disabled to attend, make&lt;br /&gt;yourself or let another make an affidavit before some Magistrate of&lt;br /&gt;such disability, and of their being material, and send it to me.&lt;br /&gt;The Court will hear no excuse, which is not supported by an&lt;br /&gt;affidavit. the witnesses should come to me the evening before the&lt;br /&gt;trial. If you have any papers, or information, not as yet communi-&lt;br /&gt;cated to me, be pleased to transmit them by the earliest opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;The Court will begin to sit on the first day of October next, and&lt;br /&gt;will sit twenty four days, Sundays excepted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;M&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. Claiborne has made no settlement&lt;br /&gt;with me in your business. I cou'd wish that you&lt;br /&gt;wou'd negociate the note with him yourself -&lt;br /&gt;I will [see] what can be done in the suit of Taylor&lt;br /&gt;but can say nothing of it present -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be so good as to remember me to M&lt;sup&gt;rs&lt;/sup&gt;. N. &amp;amp;&lt;sup&gt;c&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am D&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. S&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;y&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. m&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;. ob. S&lt;sup&gt;t&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Edm Randolph.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Verso]&lt;/p&gt;
