Littleton Waller Tazewell letter to Francis Jerdone (1756-1841) addressed to Mitchils Store in Louisa County. Tazewell writes to learn if he may draw $100 from Jerdone in favor of Daniel McClaren. Jerdone had already written that he would not honor a draft of $100 in favor of McClaren and Tazewell threatens to sue if he does not. Tazewell had been hired by McClaren to defend him against the charge of murder in the Williamsburg District Court.
