From John Dandridge

Mr Dr Madam Pamocra 1 February 29th 1788

I received your answer to my Letter of the 25th of last month, in due time & safely. 2 I have to thank you for its kind contents in behalf of my Mother & Family 3 - The Genl's Letter inclosing the Bonds I have not delivered to B Bassett4 yet: He has not been in New Kent since his marriage, 5 but is expected now daily -. I suppose the Genl has informed him that when judgment is obtained & an execution levied on the negroes of my Fathers Estate, he or myself may purchase on the Genl's acct -

My grandmother 6 whom I informed you was recovering, has relapsed & is now very ill - My mother is well & just returned from visiting my Sister Claiborn. 7 who has been almost dead, but has got better - Mr. Claibornes mother died a few days since, after a long illness -

My compliments to the Majors 8 & tell him that his Fanny 9 was well two days ago.

If I can spare the time & raise the money, I wish to go to Kentucky in the spring or fall, in which case I shall call to see you, otherwise I do not know when I shall have the satisfaction of paying my duty to you -

My whole attention for three years past has been applied to my Father's 10 affairs & to the care of my Mother & the children: And I must now endeavor to do something for myself; it shall never be in way by which I must remit my care & attention to them -

The bearer hereof is a Mr. Thos. Allison11 who has brought home a runaway belonging to us, that had rambled as far as your neighborhood. He promises to have this delivered to you immediately. -

You will make my respectful compts to the Genl. - Give my love to Wash 12 & Nelly 13 and believe me your ever dutiful & Affectionate

Nephew J: Dandridge14
