Scope and Content Information
This letter, August 27, 1773, from Robert Carter Nicholas (1728-1780), Williamsburg, Virginia, to "Sir," refers to a land dispute over the dividing line between Nicholas and a Colonel Randolph [possibly John Randolph (1727/28-1784) or Peyton Randolph (1721-1775), brother of "Tazewell Hall," Williamsburg]. The parties have referred the case to a Colonel Jordan, who has surveyed the land. Nicholas requests further research on the matter, and gives instructions concerning the material depositions and affidavits.
