It is perfectly evident that by all the old leaders of the House at that moment, by Peyton Randolph, and Pendleton, and Wythe, and Bland, and the rest of them, this question was answered in the negative. Indeed, it could be answered in no other way. Such being the case, it followed that, for Virginia and for all her sister colonies, an entirely new state of things had arisen.
When Virginia stood sustained in her legislation by the pure and philosophic intellect of Pendleton by the patriotism of Mason and Lee by the searching vigor and sagacity of Wythe, and by the all-embracing, all-comprehensive genius of Thomas Jefferson!
The five resolutions, he afterwards remembered, were "opposed by Randolph, Bland, Pendleton, Nicholas, Wythe, and all the old members, whose influence in the House had, till then, been unbroken;... not from any question of our rights, but on the ground that the same sentiments had been, at their preceding session, expressed in a more conciliatory form, to which the answers were not yet received.

Wythe, and with this and the management of his father's estate he found himself abundantly occupied. In 1767 he was admitted to the bar, and for several years devoted himself to the practice of his profession. It is quite probable that, in consequence of his inability to speak and his utter incapacity for forensic controversy, his career at the bar would not have reached the highest distinction.
And we have marveled since. It was not just the towering national figures like Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Marshall, or the great state leaders like Peyton Randolph, Richard Bland, George Wythe, or Edmund Pendleton who astounded contemporaries. Thomas Walker.
After taking the brandy he slept a little, and awaking quietly, looked at Dan with dazed eyes. "Who is it?" he asked, stretching out his hand. "Why, I thought Dick Wythe was dead." Dan bent over him, smoothing the hair from his brow with hands that were gentle as a woman's. "Surely you haven't forgotten me," he said. "No no, I remember, but it is dark, too dark.
Allen and myself were at Fresh Pond together and under the lead of Wythe we went to one of his large ice-houses. The month was August and the men were engaged in removing ice from the house for loading upon the railway cars. From the top of the house to the ground floor must have been sixty feet or more.
