Letter, 27 Mar. [1787], to Robert G[oodloe] Harper, at Mr. Beresford's, Horseshoe plantation [St. Bartholomew's parish, Colleton District, S.C.], congratulating Harper on his good fortune in "enjoying the Blessings of a very agreable Society of Ladies," remarking that he did not envy him his "Eligble Situation" even though circumstances denied him the pleasure, reporting that he was reading law with a lawyer in hopes of "more easy admittance to the Bar," noting that the legislature conducted business as usual and accomplished little, "a great deal of Declamation and little decision," and expressing his approval of the General Assembly's motion that allowed loyalist and former governor [William] Bull to return to South Carolina and resume the rights of citizenship, a move that revealed the legislature's "one trace of humanity."
