Letter written to Fulwar Skipwith from Philip Hicky in Baton Rouge, La., on December 3, 1810, seven days before the United States took possession of Baton Rouge on December 10 and incorporated it into the newly formed Orleans Territory. In the letter, Philip Hicky writes to Fulwar Skipwith declining the nomination as Supreme Court judge (referred to as "S.C." in the letter). Hicky also mentions awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Skipwith and family, extending an invitation for them to stay with the Hickys should their own residence not be prepared. He concludes the letter by stating that "the militia of this neighbourhood will be in readiness to march in a day or two."
