<h5><strong>Recto</strong></h5>
<p>Dear Sir.</p>
<p>I wrote many months ago to mess<sup>rs</sup>. James Buchanan and company<br />for an elegant sett of table and tea china, with bowls of the same of different sizes,<br />decanters and drinking glasses, an handsome service of glass for a dessert, four<br />middlesized and six lesser dishes, and three dozen plates of hard metal, 100 skins<br />of writing parchment proper for enrolling our acts of assembly on, several bundles of<br />best quills, two pieces of blanketing and as many of rolls for servants, 10 or 12<br />pair of shoes and two of slippers for myself, and one or two other articles which I do<br />not recollect. At that time there was due to me about thirty pounds, I believe,<br />for I have mislaid their last account current; and besides I had shipped four<br />hogsheads of tobacco to that house. The goods have not come to hand, neither<br />have I yet an accoount of sales of the tobacco. If they have not sent, nor de<br />sign to send the goods, I desire you will be so kind as let me have them, with<br />a bonnet for mrs Wythe, and present the inclosed order and receive the balance.<br />A few days since I desired you would procure for me an handsome well built<br />chariot, with the devicenon sent painted on it, for which you may depend on a<br />seasonable remittance. I again beg the favour of your attention to the affair of the journals. If<br />they are not to be procured, let me be informed what 120 printed copies of them<br />to the year 1752 will cost. If they do not exceed the sum I suppose, the assem-<br />bly, I doubt not, will defray the expense. The prospect of a benefit to me, I flat-<br />ter myself, will not only excuse the earnestness and frequency of my importuni-<br />ties, but stimulate your endeavours to serve me in this business. You will oblige<br />me by sending a copper plate, with the arms of Virginia neatly engraved, and<br />some impressions of them to be pasted on the books belonging to the house of bur-<br />gesses. If any additions are made on the plate in consequence of what is proposed<br />within, I will cheerfully pay the extraordinary cost. J H N left us a day or<br />two ago in good health & I forgot to mention that I had drawn bills on mess.<br />Ja Buchanan and company for about sixteen pounds payable to mr James<br />Coke. I am,</p>
<p>Dear Sir,<br />Your sincere friend and well wisher<br />G. Wythe<br />Aug. 18th 1768</p>

<br /><p>Dear Sir;</p>
<p>If you will be so good as procure for me a well built<br />handsome post-charriott, I will remit the price of it in<br />due season. Something like the inclosed device may be<br />put upon it. Of the several articles I have lately wrote<br />for, the glasses, balls and other apparatus, such as are<br />used by the house of commons in balloting, and the du-<br />plicates of our journals, I am most anxious about, and<br />earnestly desire your particular attention to. The jour-<br />nals especially would be of considerable advantage to<br />me. I am</p>
<p>Dear Sir,<br />Your sincere friend and<br />well wishes<br />G Wythe<br />Williamsburg<br />Aug. 8. 1768.</p>
