Winthrop, Jr. writes that his father's estate includes 114 letters from Hugh Blair Grigsby and over 100 letters written by his father to Hugh Blair Grigsby which were given to his father by Carrington. He suggests that this collection should be kept together, possibly at the Virginia Historical Society. He plans to have the collection arranged chronologically and bound. Joseph Bryan, President of the Virginia Historical Society, writes about the potential loan/gift.","Five letters. N. Daniel invites him to the Presbytery at Bethlehem on the 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th. Dr. A. Duane of New York answers Carrington's query about his eye problems with a possible diagnosis and treatments. Sue Wainwright writes two letters that suggest they may have an interest in each other, but questions why he is always too busy.","Carrington has \"the grippe\" in January and his eyes continue to bother him. On January 9, W. W. Galt writes from Arabia that \"probably about this time...you will have left the estate of 'single blessedness' and will have settled down\". But other letters from family and friends during this time period do not mention a wedding and he appears to be unmarried due to his activities. Mary B. Galt writes often to Carrington, giving news of her family, William Wilson Galt and his navy travels and the Galt family in Norfolk. Uncle John Carrington continues to send financial accountings. One note from Carrington to Uncle John discusses a misunderstanding about money owed.

A list \"Patrons of Miss K. Boyds' School\" is included. Carrington Grigsby met, courted and then became engaged to Miss Mary H. Boyd in 1897. She is a teacher, possibly at the Shepperson home. By December 13, something occurred and the engagement was ended. Correspondence from friends, family, and Miss Boyd. Mary B. Galt writes that she would not \"call on Miss M. Hugh Blair because it would be premature.\" On November 10, Mrs. Mary B. Galt writes \"I am truly delighted that she has at last decided positively...and I have written her a real nice sisterly note\". Miss Boyd writes, \"Thank you for what you said in regard to my fine judgement. I promise you that all of my influence (if I have any) shall be used in your behalf.\" Cousin Emma Lou Stringfellow writes to Mary H. Boyd in which she says \"I know he is one of nature's best nobleman...\" and gives many other attributes of Carrington. The December 13 breakup letter from Mary H. Boyd says, \"if I could have been launched in to matrimony on the high-tide of my feelings...all would have been well but those things that have broken my dream of yours...frightened and chilled me and I cannot find it in my heart to forgive the fate that makes it so\". John Whitehead writes, \"I presume...the estrangement is permanent...there are thousands of lovely ladies in Virginia.\" Some undated letters from Miss Boyd are at the end of the folder. Mrs. Cynthia B. T. Coleman of Williamsburg answers a letter from Carrington about purchasing two chairs belonging to her Uncle William Randolph. She jokes that she barely has two hundred cents much less $200 to buy them. She notes \"if Randolfhians is at such a premium I think I had better make my fortune selling off my silver and glass that he brought with him from England. Poor as I am I think I will keep these treasures and hand them down to my children's children.\"","Letter from Mary Boyd to Carrington discussing the breakup, the rumors around Smithville and how well he is behaving like a \"manly man.\" A draft of a letter from Carrington to Mary Boyd about the termination of their engagement. Other relatives and friends give him support after the termination, especially John Whitehead, Nancy Daniel and Cousin Stringfellow. Nancy Daniel notes that Mary Boyd only wanted \"to carry on a fliration...and she did not love any body but Mr. F.\" Miss Shewall tells of seeing Mary Boyd with Cabell Flourney and they might be engaged.   Nancy Daniel continues to write letters asking why he doesn't write or visit often, suggesting he thinks she is uninteresting and wanting to know all about his activities, especially with ladies. Emily Christian from William and Mary asks if he wants a subscription to The William and Mary Quarterly. Mary B. Galt is in Presbyterian Hospital in New York because of possible heart problems. Walter Anderson asks about his Blair Family ancestors. Langhorne Crosby is desperate to know if \"Willie Galt\" is all right since he is in Manila. Sue Wainwright writes, \"When you get this - I will have left Charlotte - I am too sick at heart to write - goodby - God bless you.\" T. P. Wilson responds to his query about how to kill tobacco worms. Samuel Hannah apologises, asks forgiveness and explains what happened when he stopped by Mrs. Galt's house after he'd had too much to drink. Includes correspondence about farm crops and implements, business transactions and local and family matters with invitations from family and local residents.

Galt writes that her son, Hugh, is better but \"I don't want him to return to Wm \u0026 Mary at all, for I don't believe they can get decent food there at all.\" Samuel Read asks how he can obtain a copy of \"History of South Side Virginia\" by Hugh Blair Grigsby. Nannie Daniel writes \"You seem to have quite a fondness for widows. Now there are four...I think it is time you were getting married...some one said you were in love with yourself and would never love any body else.\" Mary B. and William Wilson Galt have a new son named Carrington Grigsby Galt. Carrington is a member of the State Board of Agriculture. He still receives letters from friends who tell him about ladies visiting the area. The Virginia Historical Society asks him about some newspapers that he had talked about giving to them. Mary B. Galt speaks of Miss Nannie who is looking after the children and wishes that Carrington was living such a family life. Includes letters from relatives and neighbors. Appears that he is helping some of his poorer relations and neighbors. Includes correspondence about farm purchases such as seeds, fertilizer and machinery and selling farm products. 1908 Correspondence 2 letters.

The documents were saved from destruction during the Civil War by Lewis Warrington Webb. He and his descendants contributed to and preserved the documents.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Bourough of Norfolk, Gosport Navy Yard","Lewis Warrington Webb was born on September 26, 1826. He was in the drug business before the Civil War. Webb was Collector of the Port of Norfolk when the war began. He maintained an office in the custom house. In April of 1861, war between the North and the South appeared to be imminent. The federal authorities realized that the Navy Yard could not be successfully defended. They ordered the evacuation and destruction of the ships, stores, equipment and records. Lewis Webb gathered many of the documents stored in the customs house and placed them in a trunk. The documents included late eighteenth and nineteenth century records of the Borough of Norfolk and records of the Gosport Navy Yard. Webb contributed documents to the collection until 1870.","After the Civil War, Webb served as a member of the military council, Auditor of Public Accounts, member of the Board of Police Commissioners, a member of the State Legislature and as the Deputy Collector of Customs in Norfolk. He supported the Republican party and was involved in state and national politics. Lewis Webb died on February 2, 1883.","The documents were passed down through the Webb family and stored in the different homes the family occupied. Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr., the grandson of Lewis Warrington Webb, loaned the documents to the Norfolk Historical Society for analysis. He donated the collection to the University on December 3, 1976.","The records of the Borough of Norfolk primarily involve the Common Council. The legislative power of the borough was vested in the Common Council. The Council was composed of sixteen members. The members could elect one of their number to be president. The committees were an important part of the government. The majority of laws were drafted by the committees at the direction of the Council. The Council had the right to collect taxes and to appropriate funds for construction and improvement of public buildings. The Council levied a tax on goods sold in the public market.","The records of the Navy Yard involve the years from 1829 to 1870. The primary documents in this section of the collection are the records of the Navy agents. The duties of the agents were directed by the Navy Commission Office in Washington. The Commission was an administrative body charged with the administration of naval material. The agents directed their requisition requests and submitted monthly expenditures to the Navy Commission Office.","The Navy agents worked on a commission basis. They were involved in securing supplies for the Navy and in the purchase of material for the con-struction and repair of ships and buildings at the yard. The agents acted as a liaison between the Navy and the civilian contractors. They placed advertisements in the Norfolk newspapers describing the Navy's specifications for materials and supplies. The agents inspected the quality of merchandise delivered to the yard. They paid the contractors for acceptable items. The agents supervised auctions of condemned government property.","Naval officers and seamen requested the agents to pay their dependents a monthly portion of their pay while they were away from home. The agents selected the modes of transportation and provided a travel allowance for men in transit.","The Navy agents received their funds from the Fourth Auditor's Office, United States Treasury Department. They submitted accounts and vouchers to the Fourth Auditor's Office each quarter.","The agents were generally prominent men. George Loyall was born in Norfolk on May 29, 1789. He graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1808. Loyall was a member of the House of Delegates from the Borough of Norfolk, 1817-1827. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1829. George Loyall was a member of Congress, 1831-1837. He was Navy agent of Norfolk from 1837-1861. Loyall resigned his position on April 17, 1861 because of his southern sympathies. His first wife Rebecca Tyler died in 1812 and his second wife Margaret Kelly died in 1855.

The documents were saved from destruction during the Civil War by Lewis Warrington Webb. He and his descendants contributed to and preserved the documents.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Bourough of Norfolk, Gosport Navy Yard","Lewis Warrington Webb was born on September 26, 1826. He was in the drug business before the Civil War. Webb was Collector of the Port of Norfolk when the war began. He maintained an office in the custom house. In April of 1861, war between the North and the South appeared to be imminent. The federal authorities realized that the Navy Yard could not be successfully defended. They ordered the evacuation and destruction of the ships, stores, equipment and records. Lewis Webb gathered many of the documents stored in the customs house and placed them in a trunk. The documents included late eighteenth and nineteenth century records of the Borough of Norfolk and records of the Gosport Navy Yard. Webb contributed documents to the collection until 1870.","After the Civil War, Webb served as a member of the military council, Auditor of Public Accounts, member of the Board of Police Commissioners, a member of the State Legislature and as the Deputy Collector of Customs in Norfolk. He supported the Republican party and was involved in state and national politics. Lewis Webb died on February 2, 1883.","The documents were passed down through the Webb family and stored in the different homes the family occupied. Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr., the grandson of Lewis Warrington Webb, loaned the documents to the Norfolk Historical Society for analysis. He donated the collection to the University on December 3, 1976.","The records of the Borough of Norfolk primarily involve the Common Council. The legislative power of the borough was vested in the Common Council. The Council was composed of sixteen members. The members could elect one of their number to be president. The committees were an important part of the government. The majority of laws were drafted by the committees at the direction of the Council. The Council had the right to collect taxes and to appropriate funds for construction and improvement of public buildings. The Council levied a tax on goods sold in the public market.","The records of the Navy Yard involve the years from 1829 to 1870. The primary documents in this section of the collection are the records of the Navy agents. The duties of the agents were directed by the Navy Commission Office in Washington. The Commission was an administrative body charged with the administration of naval material. The agents directed their requisition requests and submitted monthly expenditures to the Navy Commission Office.","The Navy agents worked on a commission basis. They were involved in securing supplies for the Navy and in the purchase of material for the con-struction and repair of ships and buildings at the yard. The agents acted as a liaison between the Navy and the civilian contractors. They placed advertisements in the Norfolk newspapers describing the Navy's specifications for materials and supplies. The agents inspected the quality of merchandise delivered to the yard. They paid the contractors for acceptable items. The agents supervised auctions of condemned government property.","Naval officers and seamen requested the agents to pay their dependents a monthly portion of their pay while they were away from home. The agents selected the modes of transportation and provided a travel allowance for men in transit.","The Navy agents received their funds from the Fourth Auditor's Office, United States Treasury Department. They submitted accounts and vouchers to the Fourth Auditor's Office each quarter.","The agents were generally prominent men. George Loyall was born in Norfolk on May 29, 1789.

Mallory was the first president of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad. He was appointed Navy Agent in 1850. Mallory's first wife Mary Shield died. He later married Mary Wright. Francis Mallory died in Norfolk on March 26, 1860.","Many of the letters sent to the Navy agents involved Commodore Lewis Warrington. He was born at Williamsburg, Virginia on November 3, 1782. He attended the College of William and Mary. Warrington was appointed midshipman in the Navy on January 6, 1800. He fought in the war with the Barbary pirates.

Dr. Webb died in 1984 and Virginia Rice Webb died in 2003.","Electricity Cost Commission","The governor established the Electricity Cost Commission on March 31, 1975. The Commission was organized in response to consumer concern about the high cost of electricity and the efficiency of the management of the power companies. The governor instructed the Commission to analyze the reasons for high electrical rates, the energy situation in Virginia and in other states, alternative sources of energy, and the projections of the power companies for future demand for energy. The Commission was instructed to publish its findings.","The Commission was composed of twenty-one members. They were divided into four committees.

He was in the drug business before the Civil War. Webb was Collector of the Port of Norfolk when the war began. He maintained an office in the custom house. In April of 1861, war between the North and the South appeared to be imminent. The federal authorities realized that the Navy Yard could not be successfully defended. They ordered the evacuation and destruction of the ships, stores, equipment and records. Lewis Webb gathered many of the documents stored in the customs house and placed them in a trunk. The documents included late eighteenth and nineteenth century records of the Borough of Norfolk and records of the Gosport Navy Yard. Webb contributed documents to the collection until 1870.","After the Civil War, Webb served as a member of the military council, Auditor of Public Accounts, member of the Board of Police Commissioners, a member of the State Legislature and as the Deputy Collector of Customs in Norfolk. He supported the Republican party and was involved in state and national politics. Lewis Webb died on February 2, 1883.","The documents were passed down through the Webb family and stored in the different homes the family occupied. Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr., the grandson of Lewis Warrington Webb, loaned the documents to the Norfolk Historical Society for analysis. He donated the collection to the University on December 3, 1976.","The records of the Borough of Norfolk primarily involve the Common Council. The legislative power of the borough was vested in the Common Council. The Council was composed of sixteen members. The members could elect one of their number to be president. The committees were an important part of the government. The majority of laws were drafted by the committees at the direction of the Council. The Council had the right to collect taxes and to appropriate funds for construction and improvement of public buildings. The Council levied a tax on goods sold in the public market.","The records of the Navy Yard involve the years from 1829 to 1870. The primary documents in this section of the collection are the records of the Navy agents. The duties of the agents were directed by the Navy Commission Office in Washington. The Commission was an administrative body charged with the administration of naval material. The agents directed their requisition requests and submitted monthly expenditures to the Navy Commission Office.","The Navy agents worked on a commission basis. They were involved in securing supplies for the Navy and in the purchase of material for the con-struction and repair of ships and buildings at the yard. The agents acted as a liaison between the Navy and the civilian contractors. They placed advertisements in the Norfolk newspapers describing the Navy's specifications for materials and supplies. The agents inspected the quality of merchandise delivered to the yard. They paid the contractors for acceptable items. The agents supervised auctions of condemned government property.","Naval officers and seamen requested the agents to pay their dependents a monthly portion of their pay while they were away from home. The agents selected the modes of transportation and provided a travel allowance for men in transit.","The Navy agents received their funds from the Fourth Auditor's Office, United States Treasury Department. They submitted accounts and vouchers to the Fourth Auditor's Office each quarter.","The agents were generally prominent men. George Loyall was born in Norfolk on May 29, 1789.
