John Page to St. George Tucker, 29 June 1806

Ewmiskinis:

On June 8th, 1806, [[George Wythe]] died from arsenic poisoning, and was suspected to be murdered by his grandnephew, George Wythe Sweeney<ref>Brendan Wolfe, "Wythe, The Death of George (1806)," Encyclopedia Virginia, Virginia Humanities, February 2, 2021, accessed July 29, 2024, https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/wythe-the-death-of-george-1806/</ref>. On June 29th, 1806, John Page writes to [[St. George Tucker]] regarding the recent murder of George Wythe and discusses what he believes could have contributed to Wythe's grandnephew poisoning him.

In his letter, Page begins to Tucker regarding an offer from the latter's brother to accept shares in a North Carolina Goldmine company (which he ultimately declines), before transitioning into the topic of George Wythe's murder. Page acknowledges that he does not have all the details of Wythe's murder but expresses how disturbing an incident it was and his worries about how youth of the present day are growing up without following the rules of morality established by Christianity. He expresses his concern that Sweeney had decided to reject the ideals of Christianity, which in turn could have led him to disobey the law by committing acts such as forgeries before eventually poisoning his uncle to receive the assets from his will.

::I beg your pardon for delaying so long any acknowledgements for your friendly communication of your Brother's kind offer of some shares in the N. Carola. G.d mine C.o but I assure you that I did immediately sit down & write a long letter to you, on the subject, which, as I understood you were not in Wmsburg, and it contained my high opinion of the Goldmine & any Advice to you , take the shares offered to you, & Mr. G. Tucker, and as before I heard of your return, I thought any letter too long & too bold in its attempt to influence your better judgement ???? case in which you might possibly be a loser by attending to my Advice, I burnt it & resolved to write another, informing you that I had written to your Brother, thanking him for his friendly attention to me, and that I had returned the pamphlet according to your desire & that not being able to raise Money, I could not accept the shares he offered. Since the Receipt of your letter, I have received three from him; one of the last night. He desires me to present him affect.y<ref>affectionately[?]</ref> to you. He engines after the case of Chancellor Wythe, of which, as I know only enough to shock my soul, without knowing how far I may rely on the horrid tale. I think I must refer him to you for a correct & particular relation of this tragical Affair. I shudder when I think of it, and fear for humanity and the wounded honor of my Country! Good God! What may not be the Situation of their Country, if youth of the present day should grow up to Manhood unrestrained by a beleif in the Christian Religion, & without the happy influence of domestic examples of pure Morality & Religion, which have been known through life to have a powerful restraint on many, on whom a Religion which they 

===Page 2===
disbelieved could not possibly have any. I was told by Mr. DuVal a few days before I left Richmond that Mr. Wythe had declared to him his belief in Christianity, adding that it was his only consolation, and the Lord's Prayer his daily address to God. and I find that in his funeral Oration Mr. Mumford states that two years ago he had heard him make a similar declaration. But unhappily for Mr. Wythe he had so long been reputed atheist, that there is reason to suspect, that his Nephew thought him one, and therefore, relying on his superior penetration & Wisdom, he might safely reject Christianity, and dread no future consequences of what is called sin and that therefore if he could but elude the Eye of the law, and the slow and cautious steps by which it pursues offenders, he had nothing to apprehend, should he poison his Uncle, and prevent his altering his Will, which was made in his Favor- As to this young Man's Forgeries, when religion is out of the way, I can see nothing in our law that could restrain him or anyone else from a free exercise of that lucrative Employment. But for a cause of Religion, I myself could not have done a better act for the benefit of my Wife & Children, than to have joined with L. and others, and died in the Penitentiary consoled with the pleasing reflection that I had handsomely provided for my Family, in a way permitted, nay chalked out by our Laws, & I could, if under no religious ???? call my Wife & Children, that no one would think the worse of these for what I had done; and indeed that they would always be respected in proportion to their riches, and that both I and they would have been despised had I left them poor. that therefore the riches I had acquired for them could secure them respect in this World and that as for my ????, they need not trouble themselves about it. that they ought to enjoy their hearts desire in all things, and say "Let us eat & drink for tomorrow we die." And indeed if I had only a vague conjecture about the being of a God & a future State, I think I should look upon Morality as only a good countenance to restrain others from injuring me, and mine, & from interfering too much with me when in pursuit of favorite Gratifications, & I should wish

===Page 3===
for a despotic Prince to preserve a greater degree of order, & security of life & property than could possibly exist if the most enlightened part of my Countrymen should ever so become as inreligious as myself. But believing as I do in a divine revelation, I had rather perish with my Wife & Children through absolute want, than that any one of us should do one unjust or dishonest Act. I believe that Poverty, sickness, & death itself, are far from being Evils, & that sin alone, is an Evil to be dreaded. I look upon all humane Wisdom as insignificant compared with a proper knowledge of our Creator and ourselves; and all human Contrivances to preserve the Liberty & happiness(?) of Mankind without the heavenly and of the Christian Religion, totally vain and fallacious. But, that, whenever that Religion is properly received and regarded, there, the People must be made free from sin, & will require no Government which is not perfectly compatible with perfect Liberty civil & religious. I have therefore been at a loss(?) to account for the strange Phenomenon of Philosophers, Philantrophists, and Republicans avowing their disbelief in the Christian Religion. For my part had I ten thousand more doubts respecting it than I ever had in my life, I should wish to see it universally received as absolutely true & divine. And had I found the old & New Testament in a street, & no other copy of it, translation, or Paraphrase had ever been sent, and no account of Completion of Prophecies or ??? of Martyrs, or the living Testimony of the Jews been exhibited, I should wish to receive it as sent down & dropt from Heaven amongst us. There could be no Injustice, no ill will amongst men, no Wars between Nations, but universal peace & good will must prevail amongst the fraternised nations of the Earth, if they would but believe in the scriptures and obey their heavenly precepts. I have run on beyond my intended bounds, hurried away by the interesting subject before me, which I always have much at Heart, for my Children's Sake, my Country's, and for the sake of the whole human race. Present us & our best wishes to Mrs. Tucker & your Family & believe me yr sincere Friend John Page

Although [[George Wythe|Wythe's]] lecture notes from his teaching days at William & Mary are thought to have been extant as late as 1810, no collection of [[Wythe's Lost Papers|George Wythe's papers or correspondence]] has survived to the present day. Instead, the list below derives from Wythe's contemporaries. As a leader of the Revolution, Wythe exchanged correspondence with many of the notable men of his time and it is from their papers that we piece together the Chancellor's collection.

Tucker, and as before I heard of your return, I thought any letter too long & too bold in its attempt to influence your better judgement ???? case in which you might possibly be a loser by attending to my Advice, I ???? resolved to write another, informing you that I had written to your Brother, thanking him for his friendly attention to me, and that I had returned the pamphlet according to your desire & that not being able to raise Money, I could not accept the shares he offered. Since the Receipt of your letter, I have received three from him; one of the last night. He desires me to present him ??? to you. He engines after the case of Chancellor Wythe, of which, as I know only enough to shock my soul, without knowing how far I may rely on the horrid tale. I think I must refer him to you for a correct & particular relation of this tragical Affair. I shudder when I think of it, and fear for humanity and the wounded honor of my Country! Good God! What may not be the Situation of their Country, if youth of the present day should grow up to Manhood unrestrained by a beleif in the Christian Religion, & without the happy influence of domestic examples of pure Morality & Religion, which have been known through life to have a powerful restraint on many, on whom a Religion which they 

===Page 2===
disbelieved could not possibly have any. I was told by Mr. DuVal a few days before I left Richmond that Mr. Wythe had declared to him his belief in Christianity, adding that it was his only ????, and the Lord's Prayer his daily address to God. and I find that in his funeral Oration Mr. Mumford states that two years ago he had ??? him make a similar declaration. But unhappily for Mr. Wythe he had so long been reputed atheist, that there is reason to suspect, that his Nephew thought him one, and therefore, relying on his superior ??? & Wisdom, he might safely reject Christianity, and dread no future consequences of what is called sin and that therefore if he could but elude the ???? the law, and the slow and cautious steps by which it pursues offenders, he had nothing to apprehend, should he poison his Uncle, and prevent his altering his Will, which was made in his Favor- As to this young Man's Forgeries, when religion is out of the way, I can see nothing in our law that could restrain him or anyone else from a free exercise of that ?????. But for a cause of Religion, I myself could not have done a better act for the benefit of my Wife & Children, than to have joined with ???? and others, and died in the ????? consoled with the pleasing reflection that I had handsomely provided for my Family, in a way permitted, nay ???? by our Laws, & I could, if under no religious ???? call my Wife & Children, that no one would think the worse of ??? for what I had done; and indeed that they would always be respected in proportion to their riches, and that both I and they would have been despised had I left them poor. that therefore the riches I had acquired for them could secure them respect in this World and that as for my ????, they need not trouble themselves about it. that they ought to enjoy their hearts desire in all things, and say(?) "Let us eat & drink for tomorrow we die." And indeed if I had only a vague conjecture about the being of a God & a future State, I think I should look upon Morality as only a good ???? to restrain others from injuring me, and mine, & from interfering too much with me when in pursuit of favorite Gratifications, & I should wish

===Page 3===
for a ???? Prince to preserve a greater degree of order, & security of life & property than could possibly exist if the most enlightened part of my Country??? should??? ??? as inreligious as myself. But believing as I do in a divine revelation, I had rather perish with my Wife & Children through absolute want(?), than that any one of us should do one unjust or dishonest Act. I believe that Poverty, sickness, & death itself, are far from being Evils, & that sin alone, is an Evil to be dreaded. I look upon all ???? Wisdom as insignificant compared with a proper knowledge of our Creator and ourselves; and all human Contrivances to preserve the Liberty & happiness(?) of Mankind without the heavenly and of the Christian Religion, totally vain and fallacious. But, that, whenever that Religion is properly received and regarded, there, the People must be made free from sin, & will require no Government which is not perfectly compatible with perfect Liberty civil & religious. I have therefore been at a ??? to account for the strange Phenomenon of Philosophers, Philantrophists, and Republicans avowing their disbelief in the Christian Religion. For my part had I lay(?) thousand more doubts respecting it than I ever had in my life, I should wish to see it universally received as absolutely true(?) & divine. And had I found the old & New Testament in a street, & no other copy of it, ???? or Paraphrase had ever been sent, and no account of Completion of Prophecies or ??? of Martyrs, or the living Testimony of the Jews been ????, I should wish to receive it as sent down & dropt from Heaven amongst us. ?? ??? could ???? Injustice, no ill will amongst men, no Wars between Nations, but universal peace & good will must prevail amongst the fraternised nations of the Earth, if they would but believe in the scriptures and obey their heavenly precepts. I ???? beyond my intended ????, hurried away by the interesting subject before me, which I always have much at Heart, for my Children's Sake, my Country's, and for the sake of the whole human race. Present us & our best wishes to Mrs. Tucker & your Family & believe me yr ??? Friend John Page

Following the death of [[George Wythe]] on June 8th, 1806, [[William DuVal]], acting as the executor of Wythe's will, informed [[Thomas Jefferson]] of Wythe's death and explained that he had bequeathed his library to Jefferson. On June 22, Thomas Jefferson wrote to his cousin, George Jefferson, asking him to receive Wythe's articles and collections from Mr. DuVal, hire somebody to pack them, and send them to Monticello, Jefferson's estate. <ref>"Letter from George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson, 22 July 1806," Massachusetts Historical Society, Accessed July 23, 2024, https://www.masshist.org/database/viewer.php?item_id=1822&pid=3. </ref>

Dear Sir, 
::::Mr. DuVal the executor of my deceased friend mr Wythe, informed me that he bequeathed to me his books, philosophical instruments & some other articles, which he is anxious should be immediately delivered, as the house was to be rented in a few days. I have taken the liberty to inform him that you will receive those articles, & that you will be so good as to relieve him from all trouble & expense of packing etc by hiring some person on my account to do this. The packages are to be forwarded to Monticello by careful boatmen. The Philosophical articles will probably require very careful packing. I shall send from hence in a day or two, 2 boxes, which I shall be anxious to have forwarded to Monticello so as to be there before me. That is to say before the 24th of July. We shall be very happy to see you there in Aug. or September. I salute you with affectionate attachment,

[[Thomas Jefferson]] writes to George Jefferson requesting a favor from him to help him in his endeavor to preserve his collection of old Virginia laws. Thomas Jefferson informs George Jefferson that he has assembled copies of various Virginia laws into volumes and has given them to [[George Wythe]].

He then gives Jefferson on how to best preserve these copies to avoid them being lost or damaged.

::I am now to ask your assistance in a matter not exactly in the line of ordinary business, and which I am afraid will give you some trouble. In the early part of my life, percieving that the laws of this state which were no longer in force were vanishing fast I set about making a collection of them, & with considerable success, it was fortunately before the revolution which would otherwise have swept off these as it has done all other remaining copies, these are now in the hands of mr Wythe, arranged for binding into volumes, & each of them labelled, but after sending them to him I had occasion to change two of the labels, this is explained in the copy of a letter I wrote him which I now inclose you. I have to ask the favor of you to receive them from mr Wythe & put them into the hands of a good book binder to be bound in neat law bindings according to the directions before prepared. I would wish the work to be pressed, as there is danger of loss or injury to them, & their loss would be irreparable, not to myself merely, but to the public, for whose use I preserve them, till they shall attend to their importance & take measures for securing them. I suppose it would be best not to put them into the hands of Bran, as his delays are without end, & I have already experienced the loss of some valuable books committed to him. when they are done I must be at the expence of a trunk to preserve them from wet while coming up the river, as in a waggon they would suffer from rubbing. I will pray you to send me the books below mentioned. I am with great esteem

Robert Carter to Wythe, 19 January 1779

2024-07-03T18:13:43Z

[[wikipedia:Robert Carter III|Robert Carter]], a plantation owner who had recently converted to the Baptist faith,<ref>John R. Barden, "Robert Carter (1728-1804)," Encyclopedia Virginia, Virginia Humanities, December 22, 2021, accessed July 3, 2024, https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/carter-robert-1728-1804/</ref> writes to [[George Wythe]] regarding the progress of a chancery case he is involved in. Carter explains that Col. Charles Carter has filed suit against him, and he appeals to George Wythe for help in defending him during said chancery suit. Carter states that he is at the Bar at the time of writing this letter, and that he shall try to give Wythe assistance in this suit should he still be away while the case is being argued.

Carter ends his letter affirming his Christian beliefs in Jesus Christ as the son of God and the Doctrine of Resurrection. He then recommends Wythe consider adopting similar beliefs before closing the letter with regards to Wythe and his family.

==Letter text==

:::::::::::::::::Nomony Hall Janry 19th 1779 
Dear Sir 
::::Last September I wrote a letter to
Mr. Peter Lynes desiring him to apply to you for all the papers in Col. Charles Carters Chancery suit against me-- if he should not have applied, pray put said papers into the hands of an able lawyer who practices at the High Court of Chancery, to defend my property, and advise me accordingly.

W.P.L acknowledged the receipt of my letter mentioned above- who says that he then attended the H.L.L only to assist in some causes ready for tryal, & it is quite uncertain how long I shall continue my attendance at the Bar. I would not wish you to rely entirely 

===Page 2===

on me to defend that suit, which is not yet set for hearing, therefore beg leave to return the fee, nevertheless if the cause should be argued while I am at the Bar, I shall be ready to give you any assistance in my power. A deistical opinion occurs forcibly, which I formerly emparted to you- let this then apologize for my renouncing that idea here and now give testimony in proof of the Religion of Revelation. I declare that the old & new Testaments are of divine authority and not of human institution; that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that none have or can obtain everlasting life, but thro him, that the Doctrine of the Resurrection of Soul & Body is true & that future Rewards and Punishments are to continue ad infinitum to Eternity.

I do on behalf of your immortal soul call on you to supplicate the throne of Grace to communicate to your soul experimental Religion for without it none can partake of Christs Kingdom. J.C. says to Nicodemus Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again-- John iii-7.

I shall add only that myself and all your acquaintances have, present respect to all compliments to Mr. & Mrs. Wythe & the relatives of your family. I am dear sir your most obedt and very

Although [[George Wythe|Wythe's]] lecture notes from his teaching days at William & Mary are thought to have been extant as late as 1810, no collection of [[Wythe's Lost Papers|George Wythe's papers or correspondence]] has survived to the present day. Instead, the list below derives from Wythe's contemporaries. As a leader of the Revolution, Wythe exchanged correspondence with many of the notable men of his time and it is from their papers that we piece together the Chancellor's collection.

[[wikipedia:Robert Carter III|Robert Carter]] writes to [[George Wythe]] informing him that he received a letter stating that a man named Charles Mynis Thurston was planning on building a mill on a tract of land in Frederick County.

A few days ago I received a letter dated 14th of last month, (September) subscribed John Hough, who is my Steward-- part thereof is in these words "Parson Charles Mynis Thurston in Frederick is erecting a Mill on the Line near thy Conveniency on Shendor Tract, has Obtained an Order of Court to condemn & by a Jury has condemned an Acre to cut his Tail-Race through-- This I apprehend is not accordg to Law as the Line crosses the Stream-- this Breach will greatly interfere with your Conveniency-- This Hint I thought was proper to communicate-- I thought the Conveniency spoken of in the above Quotations belonging to me, is a rich Tract of Land lying in Frederick County containing about 5 thousand Acres, and a very ordinary Mill thereon-- there are several Families now living on that Tract who pay Rent to me, that Part whereon the Mill is erected, is not rented, having often refused to rent the same, intending to erect Mills for different purposes there, I think that a writ show'd he issued immedly toward obtaining an Enquiry in the Genl Court touchg the Property or Impropriety of the Order of Frederick Court, granting leave for Mr J to build a Mill-- I will go myself up to Frederick County next spring and if the Neighborhood there really want a Grist-Mill, I will order one to be built, provided the Order of the Court mentioned above shall not be set aside-- The Indisposition of several of my Children, & three upper Servts I apprehend will confine me here sometime, pray present my Compliments to Ld Dunmore and all the Gentlemen Attendants, who shall attend the approaching farm. I am, Dear Wythe, 
Your most obent servant 
Robt Carter

Ewmiskinis:

Robert Carter, a plantation owner living on the Northern Neck of Virginia writes to [[George Wythe]] in Williamsburg, Virginia to inform him of the leasing contract he has established between himself and the families living on his land. Carter relays the terms of the contract, stating that yearly rent must be paid to his residence at Nomony Hall, and that if any rent is left unpaid after 60 days, then he would be allowed to seize their property and hold it for himself. Carter closes the letter by admitting that many families on his land still owe him payment from their yearly rent and inquires to Wythe on what may be the best solution to force them to pay their debts and exact the proper consequences.

Wythe to Robert Carter, 2 July 1774

2024-06-28T18:55:05Z

[[George Wythe]] writes to [[wikipedia:Robert Carter III|Robert Carter]], regarding the leases and contracts of the tenants who reside on Carter's land. In his [[Robert Carter to Wythe, 20 June 1774|previous letter to George Wythe]], Carter expressed concern that many of his tenants still owed him yearly rent according to their contracts. In this letter, Wythe advises Carter that ejectment of tenants from their property would be the best solution to dispossess them for failure to pay rent.

Wythe them informs Carter of a letter from Governor Fauquier which reminds him of an agreement they had to pay for various "articles" from Fauquier's estate. Wythe closes the letter with hopes that he and Carter can resolve the situation involving the payments regarding Governor Fauquier's estate.

==Letter text==
===Page 1===

<blockquote>

G. Wythe to the hon. mr Carter.

Where written leases were actually executed, the landlord may either distrain, or bring actions of debt, for the rent.

I think he may pursue the same remedy against the tenants who had not written leases, if they agreed to pay a certain rent until such leases should be made.

An ejectment is a proper, and the most easy remedy to dispossess a tenant for breach of the condition, by non-payment of rent.

After judgement the mesne profits may be recovered in an action of trespass: indeed they may be recovered in the ejectment itself, but this is rarely alone.

If there be any point wherein I can give you further satisfaction, I beg you kind sir, to let me know it.

I send you a copy of the account of our administration of governour Fauquier's estate since the last settlement, by which it appears, if your bill for 334.11 sterling be extended at 25 per cent for difference of exchange, that there is a small sum of money due to you, unless we agree to pay for the articles mentioned in the paper inclosed in Mr. Fauquier's 
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::letter

===Page 2===
letter to me. A copy of that paper accompanies this. We included, if I remember rightly, when we conversed upon this subject, to pay, for the things mentioned in the inventory and not accounted for; although I am convinced they were made away with by some of the governour's servants in whom we were obliged in some measure to trust. I believe you proposed becoming responsible for them yourself alone, which I cannot consent to, since, if we were blameable, I was not less so than you. The next time we meet, I shall hope to finish this affair. Till then adieu Williamsburg, 2 July, 1774

Your favours of the 29th day of last May & 11th of the succeeding month, addresse'd to me, allso a coppy of a letter to F. Fauquier Esq, all inclosed in the same cover, are now before me-- they say that the amount of sales of horses, rendered (part of the Estate of Gov'r Fauquier, Deceased) is deficient by two of the number of horses inventorred by Wm. Nelson & P Randolph Esq sold all the horses- Mr. Robert C Nicholas, Negro Hungerford, Anthony Hay, were purchasers, and I believe Mr. Tabb of Amelia- the former of the purchasers paid the consideration money to me. Also Mrs. B. Randolph for Hungerford- these are the only payments, which I know of, on account of horses sold-- P. Ra. perhaps may recollect whether, F, & his late favorite AH- ever paid him, or either of them- you also advise me that a judicial sentence is obtained, directing us to pay £ 137..10.. to the executor of Mr. Henry Randolph on account of Gov'r F, Estate, which sum of you have paid-- I put a list of Bonds & Open accounts amounting to upwards of £ 480, current money & £ 189 Sterling into the hands of Mr. Jacob Bruce of Wmsburg to collect, telling him to deposit whatever monies he should receive belonging to me, in your hands-- if JB-- should not have deposited any money of mine with you pray call on him and apply £ 137..10, part thereof to reimburse that sum of money, or any other thou mayest have advanced to satisfy demands ag. the Gov'r Fr.
