Title A name given to the resource Mann Page Jr. Papers Description An account of the resource Papers, mainly 1788-1813, of Mann Page, Jr. (1766-1813), of Shelly, Gloucester County, Va., oldest son of John and Frances Burwell Page. Primarily his business accounts and receipts, and legal papers and receipts relating to his position as clerk of the Gloucester County Court. Included are a few letters pertaining to financial matters at Rosewell, and a letter, August 11, 1787, from John Mason, a student at the College of William and Mary, to Page, stating that there were only five students in the College at the time. A few later accounts were probably kept by Page's descendants. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Text Any textual data included in the document [Page 1] <div class="openorclose"> William & Mary 11 August 1787. Dear Sir </div> If you are not using Haw= =kins's abridgment of Coke Littleton yourself, you will confer a singular favour on me by lending it to me a short time. I wish exceedingly to read it, and know ^ of not single copy but the one you have. Our numbers are much re= =duced since you left us, there are at present but five Students at William & Mary. This renders us very dull, but enables those that please to be very in= =dustrious. We have often wished, and long hoped for the pleasure of seeing you; but your having passed several times thro' Town without calling on us, or giving us an opportunity to see you, induces us to apprehend that this desire is not [Page 2] reciprocal. When you had little or nothing to do you could never find time or inclination to visit us, we can =not then hope hope for that happiness now that you are engaged in the prac= =tice of the law. I for my own part feel myself much dissatisfied at your neglect, and well disposed to quarrel with you, indeed I know nothing that will induce me to make up with you but the pleasure of seeing you soon. The place from which my Letter is addressed will sufficiently apologize for my writing to you on such a scrip <div class="openorclose"> I am dear Sir with great Esteem & respect your Obedient Servant John T.
