My dear Page, I returned yesterday from Richmond, & meeting Oliver in the street, avail myself lf the Opportunity of thanking you for your's of the 14th. which I found in my Desk. I rejoice with you most sincerely that there is hope that America will not again "be conquered in Germany"; for sure I am there was danger of such an Event, until the Gallic Caesar had made the Court of Vienna tremble at his approach. In Richmond, where I arrived about the time that these Successes, & the meeting in the British Navy were first known, all was peace & harmony. I did not hear a single denunciation against the Executive directory of France though I dined with at least fifty Anglo-American patriots at the Eagle on the Occasion of Marshal's intended departure. I had much Conversation with him, & am happy to tell you that of all the to'ther side Men that I know he appears to me to preserve the best disposition to conciliate & to preserve our pacific relations with France; & that I flatter myself that by the time he receives his Instructions, the political Thermometer will in consequence of late Events sink down to temperate, or at least to summer heat ; like the natural Atmosphere of last saturday it had risen above blood heat ; but as the latter was changed in a few hours by the Approach of an Electrical Cloud, so I am in hopes that the former will undergo a similar change from the causes just mentioned. If I were at home, I would send you a paper which contains the Account of the Mutiny, & the Certainty that a peace has been concluded between Austria & France. Tuesday sennight is the fourth of July I wish you would come over not that I can promise you any particular Gratification, but that Our friend Nelson, & some others may [Page 2] may be then expected here bring over with you the wheel of fortune &c. I feel a great disposition to appeal from Mr. W-'s Judgement to that of the public, & print it. My Wife, who is never very well, requested me whenever I should write to present her with great regard to you & Mrs. Page. I have not seen her since meeting with Oliver. Adieu offer my sincerest good wishes to Mrs. Page & your little folks, & believe me, ever most truly your friend S.G. Tucker. [Page 3, blank] [Page 4] SGT John Page esquire Rosewell.
