Letters: to Edward Booker, Waltheim, 1823.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122640272

Randolph writes to Booker on 15 April 1823 with sorrow at his loss, quoting Patrick Henry that misfortune toughens manhood. A note at the bottom by T.A. Booker indicates that his father's house burned 4 April 1823. In a second, updated letter from Randolph to Booker, he tells him that he took Hale's papers from Col. Daniels' to take notes and returned them via Mr. Dudley. He clarifies the mistaken identity of General Peter Stephen Van Rensellaer for Solomon Van Rensellaer in the 27 October issue of the Spirit of 76. He also sends a newspaper account [not included] of the impressment of Mr. Gilliam in London.
