Papers of the Randolph family of Edgehill, 1813, 1833-1834, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62382866

The papers contain a letter, February 8, n.y., from Edmund Randolph to his daughter Susan Randolph Taylor, describing events in the General Assembly session as a "vanity of intrigue" and mentioning the political activities of his sons-in-law Thomas Preston and Peter V. Daniel as well as Peter Johnston and General James Breckinridge. With this is a deed, 1813 July, between Edmund Randolph and William Fenwick, selling two lots in Manchester to William Fenwick. The papers also contain six letters from Patsy Jefferson Randolph to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 1833, 1834 and n.y., conveying family news, particularly illnesses including ones which required the attention of Drs. Benjamin F. Randolph and Robley Dunglison. She also mentions a discarded plan to go "West" and frequently mentions Martha Jefferson Randolph and Ellen Wayles Randolph Coolidge. Of interest are her comments on the sorrow caused by the sale of [two?] slave girls, and on their pleasure with the new overseer who has elicited "no complaints from the negroes." She briefly notes the hiring of "Betty."
