John Randolph letter to Henry Middleton Rutledge [manuscript], 1817 August 2.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/648019949

Randolph writes to "almost the only friend I have left in the world" about his current depressed state of mind, the delay of his European voyage, and his refusal to return to public life. He thanks Rutledge's wife for her solicitude and enquires after his sons. He also notes that the extremely rainy summer has been bad for crops while making Virginia rival the "Emerald Isle."
