{"value"=>"Cannot let Capt. Whitacre go without sending his respects; is detained in England another winter as his wife has joined him there, and the defence of Col. Ludwell's character and his own against the Governor's unjust accusations compels him to remain; has heard the news of the bad weather and injury to the tobacco on the Pamunky river; fears his own has suffered but hopes his overseer will make the best of it, and asks Maj. Custis to see that it is properly treated, in which Mr Butts will join him; wishes it to be consigned to Messrs. Perry; asks him to visit the plantation and write of his affairs especially concerning the business with Mrs. Drummond, which he hopes is ended."}
