Between Fowler and Saunders is a published opinion by George Wythe, for the case Fowler v. Saunders, Wythe 322 (1798), in Virginia's High Court of Chancery. The pamphlet also contains the decision for Goodall v. Bullock, Wythe 328 (1798).^[1] The reports were published as a single supplement in pamphlet form in 1798 or later—almost certainly printed by Thomas Nicholson of Richmond, Virginia, who had published Wythe's Reports in 1795, and at least seven other pamphlets for Wythe, in 1796 and later.^[2]

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Upon his death, Wythe's personal copy of this pamphlet was bequeathed with his books to Thomas Jefferson, and subsequently became part of the collection at the Library of Congress. This copy has been bound in a volume with six other Chancery decisions published in pamphlet form. On the spine, the volume is titled: Wythe's Reports. Supplement. Virginia. 1796-99 . The pamphlet for Between Fowler and Saunders has a handwritten notation, "no. 3," on the first page, while Between Goodall and Bullock has "no. 4".^[3]
