His son, Norborne, is leaving his wife and child and heading back to Philadelphia where he hopes to graduate.","Scope and Contents He did at one time owe Dr. Galt some money, but he has already paid it. The amount he is charged with now should be paid by Mr. McCandlish, because Daniel bought some slaves from him that turned out to be diseased and Dr. Galt cared for them. The agreement was that McCandlish would pay Galt for his services since Daniel had bought the slaves in good faith.","Scope and Contents He has successfully instituted land claims on behalf of Revolutionary officers and would be delighted to undertake the claim of Dr. John M.

She has been told that he has never rented it and wonders whether he would consider leasing it to her for the cause of education.","Scope and Contents He and his family arrived after an exhausting trip in which they suffered from the heat. He plans to see them soon.","Scope and Contents He received a letter from Judge Brown. He is distressed by Brown's proposed move to the west. There has been some illness at Old Point, Hampton, Elizabeth City, and Edenton, and recently at West Point Academy, but he feels it is safe to stay. Mr. Southall had a letter from Gabriel Galt Williamson, written from \"Rio Jenario.\" He approves of Judge Brown's plan to buy one of her slaves.","Scope and Contents They finally arrived at Cousin Norborne Galt's after being detained in Cincinnati by sickness. While there, they were cared for by Bishop Smith. Few Episcopalians in Ohio as the Catholics and Presbyterians are in the majority. Mr. Beale has recovered his speech and can walk with crutches. Cousin Betsy Maupin was so affected when she saw Mama that she had to go to bed. [Note: Mary Frances Galt Browne (1814-1891) was the eldest of William (1787-1855) and Sarah Trebell Galt Browne (1782-1844)'s children. See Galt Genealogy, II. C. 1., p. 14. Mary was never very happy in Kentucky and her constant theme in letters to Williamsburg over many years was to return to her old home. Seemingly she never even visited Virginia again after moving in the summer of 1832. She never married, and seems to have sent much time raising her sisters, and then her nieces and nephews].","Scope and Contents Finally got him a treatise on \"the Prevailing Epidemic\" and is sending Dr. Chapman's work on cholera. After Galt has finished, he would like him to send it on to Dr. Garret and then to Henry Sheilds in York. Cholera on the decline in Norfolk.","Scope and Contents He hopes that Williamsburg is not troubled any more with incendiaries. He saw her friend Mr. Page. At present they have seen Mrs. Falcon, Miss Berracoin [?], Miss Coke, A. Cocke, and many people from Richmond and New York. Mrs. Washington Pots has been here too. Appended to letter is note from Pel Bassett to Barbara and Elizabeth apologizing for not writing and mentioning that Mary Chapman is here from Philadelphia cutting many capers. Recounts tales of some of the belles and their flirtations.","Scope and Contents She is worried that they have not heard from them as this is their sickly season. Her father has had trouble finding a house and the ones he has seen have not had separate quarters for the servants. The servants would have to stay in the basement or in the garret rooms. \"This you know cannot be very agreeable to Virginians.\" Rent is high with houses with six rooms being leased from $350 to $500.","Scope and Contents They are busy fixing the house. \"We went to church last Sunday- our minister is a Mr. Page- I hope we shall like him but he has not that calmness and solemnity which I think every minister should possess- he appears to hurry over the service. I like the church very well the pews are large enough to kneel in this is something unusual for a modern church. The congregation in the afternoon reminded me of our poor old church. They were \"few and far between- the music is indifferent but more general as is the responding than in the churches in Richmond.\" Begs her to keep a little journal of events and then send it to her at her leisure. [Note: These two letters are on one sheet].","Scope and Contents He is distressed to hear of the trouble in Williamsburg. J. Temple, Junior, passed through yesterday and told them of the cholera at Coleman's Mill and of her mother's fever. Barbara Page is with them, but will not take her medicine. More deaths have occurred in these watering places than usual. Their return will depend on the cholera conditions.","Scope and Contents Her father has still not found a house yet and talks of moving to Nashvillle or building in the country; neither prospect pleases her. Their church attendance has been irregular due to her mother's sickness. She does not like the idea of contribution boxes being carried through the congregation and prefers the boxes being left at the door. Judge Semple was elected to fill her father's place. She encloses letter from Cousin Judy Browne to Sally M. Galt. Cousin Norborne's house is lovely and it will look better when they finish planting around it. They have althea bushes down the drive-way. [Note: Mary Browne was apparently accustomed to the method of collecting used by Bruton Parish Church when she was in Williamsburg. Although the church had used alms basins since the eighteenth century, the vestry decided April 1, 1828 \"that the peculiar Circumstances of this Congregation render it inexpedient at the Time to make any Collections at the Church, or during public Worship...\" By 1873 the Vestry was talking of \"the Sunday Collections\" so the traditional method must have been resumed.]","Scope and Contents He encloses a copy of a letter to Robert Saunders, Jr., in which he gives his plans to reduce the cost of teaching French if he should be appointed professor of French. He would like Galt to recommend his propos to the members of the Board in his area.","He thinks it will be of service to the students at William and Mary to revive the professorship of Modern Languages and to make French particularly available for the grammar boys. He hopes Galt will present his viewpoint in a favourable light to those with whom he may come in contact.","Enjoyed seeing their friends Rev. Cole, Mr. Vest, Mr. Sheldon and Mr. William Barton Rogers who is bringing this letter. Her mother is happy living here now. She does not like the idea of only seeing those people of whom her parents approve and she and Mary will not go out to the places they are invited by their mother's friends.","Scope and Contents She wonders why she has not heard from her sooner. Pattrick (\"Goody Gracious\") Galt is visiting them and is in good spirits considering that he almost died of cholera. Cholera is rapidly increasing. Mr. Beale's family has left town because of it. She paid her first visit to their new house. It is convenient as far as her mother being able to manage it in her present poor health, but does not like the empty, cold, ceremonious rooms of Louisville houses. Someone has told them that \"Black Hawk\" is a little dried up old man and not the Indians' greatest warrior, but merely a chief.","Scope and Contents Judy writes Alexander that they live in a part of Louisville called Germany because so many of the Dutch live there. The rest of the letter has general bits of news and urges them to write.","Scope and Contents She and her mother have paid morning visits, some of the ladies sent word that they were too busy to be seen instead of the customary \"not at home.\" She was invited to a party with her sisters but refused to go. There have been some steam boat accidents and last week four or five people were scalded to death when a boiler broke. Envies Elizabeth's situation at Mr. Anderson's school. Hopes her father will send Sally and Judy to a good teacher.","Scope and Contents His plans for visiting them have been frustrated. He was ordered to New York and was there two days when he was ordered to Charleston, South Carolina, in the midst of the difficulties of that state with the \"general government.\" He hopes \"that the horrid realities of civil war will be spared us, but considering the phrenzied haste with which the popular leaders of So. Carolina seem determined to push matters, much is to be feared.\" [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents He regrets that is unable to pay the money requested of him.","Scope and Contents Receipt for fifteen dollars paid by Dr. A.D.

Her time is much taken up with receiving and returning morning calls. Judge Crittenden has died here. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","She is planning to sing with the choir, but worries whether she can find a beau to walk her home afterwards. She enjoys playing the piano, but is upset that hers was filled with water when it arrived. The town has had a Methodist minister, an Irishman by the name of Maffet, who has been most theatrical and has induced many of the girls to lay aside their feathers. Still his preaching did not stop a large party last night whereby a twice-married lady entertained. She mentions the marriage of John Minson Galt to Miss Land. [Note: While the year 1832 is plainly written on the envelope side of this letter, comparison of its contents with letters from from Louisville in September 1832 clearly shows that it should be dated 1833. John Minson Galt (1808-1868), son of John Minson (1785-1814) and Nancy Herbert Galt, marrried Anne W. Land (1814-1884) in March 1833.

She fears she will not see him again but hopes to see him in the life to come. She misses them all. She has seen various relatives.

Galt.]","Scope and Contents She has just recovered from a serious illness, similar to measles. The Unitarians are having a fair to raise money to buy an organ. They [the Episcopalians?] are having a fair next week. Her uncle has been bringing her plenty of flowers. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents Ann has taken up astronomy. She makes various joking remarks and innuendoes about various friends and relatives.

He wants some snaps sent to be planted and his silk comfort aired so the moths will not get it. The white sulphur over-flows.","Scope and Contents He makes joking remarks about their mutual acquaintances and throws in veiled innuendos about people and events. Mainly interested in who is courting whom and who has been seeing whom, i.e. Miss N.V. has captured the heart of Alexander Galt, Junior.","Scope and Contents The sulphur water does not agree with either Nancy or himself. He finds it strange that bathing is not accepted as fully in this country as it is by other civilized people. These baths have a particularly \"exciting effect\" for old people. Thinks that most people do not stay long enough to get the full benefits of the baths.","Scope and Contents She laments the death of cousin Lucy and expresses belief they never knew the whole story of her motives. Eliza and Mary Ann each have a new daughter. Their church is being repaired. She sends news of their Galt relatives in Kentucky. [Note: While this letter has no year, other than 1833 pencilled on the fouth sheet, either 1833 or 1834 is acceptable because of the reference to Mary [Galt]'s first tooth. The other people cannot be identified.].","Scope and Contents The weather is nice and the temperature at sixty degrees.

On being called on for a toast he rose and pronounced in a loud voice--'may the bones of Kings and tyrants be introduced in Hell as Grid Irons, to wash the souls of Tories.'

Mary was never very happy in Kentucky and her constant theme in letters to Williamsburg over many years was to return to her old home. Seemingly she never even visited Virginia again after moving in the summer of 1832. She never married, and seems to have sent much time raising her sisters, and then her nieces and nephews].","Scope and Contents Finally got him a treatise on \"the Prevailing Epidemic\" and is sending Dr. Chapman's work on cholera. After Galt has finished, he would like him to send it on to Dr. Garret and then to Henry Sheilds in York.

Appended to letter is note from Pel Bassett to Barbara and Elizabeth apologizing for not writing and mentioning that Mary Chapman is here from Philadelphia cutting many capers. Recounts tales of some of the belles and their flirtations.","Scope and Contents She is worried that they have not heard from them as this is their sickly season. Her father has had trouble finding a house and the ones he has seen have not had separate quarters for the servants. The servants would have to stay in the basement or in the garret rooms. \"This you know cannot be very agreeable to Virginians.\" Rent is high with houses with six rooms being leased from $350 to $500.","Scope and Contents They are busy fixing the house. \"We went to church last Sunday- our minister is a Mr. Page- I hope we shall like him but he has not that calmness and solemnity which I think every minister should possess- he appears to hurry over the service. I like the church very well the pews are large enough to kneel in this is something unusual for a modern church. The congregation in the afternoon reminded me of our poor old church. They were \"few and far between- the music is indifferent but more general as is the responding than in the churches in Richmond.\" Begs her to keep a little journal of events and then send it to her at her leisure. [Note: These two letters are on one sheet].","Scope and Contents He is distressed to hear of the trouble in Williamsburg. J. Temple, Junior, passed through yesterday and told them of the cholera at Coleman's Mill and of her mother's fever. Barbara Page is with them, but will not take her medicine. More deaths have occurred in these watering places than usual. Their return will depend on the cholera conditions.","Scope and Contents Her father has still not found a house yet and talks of moving to Nashvillle or building in the country; neither prospect pleases her. Their church attendance has been irregular due to her mother's sickness. She does not like the idea of contribution boxes being carried through the congregation and prefers the boxes being left at the door. Judge Semple was elected to fill her father's place. She encloses letter from Cousin Judy Browne to Sally M. Galt. Cousin Norborne's house is lovely and it will look better when they finish planting around it. They have althea bushes down the drive-way. [Note: Mary Browne was apparently accustomed to the method of collecting used by Bruton Parish Church when she was in Williamsburg. Although the church had used alms basins since the eighteenth century, the vestry decided April 1, 1828 \"that the peculiar Circumstances of this Congregation render it inexpedient at the Time to make any Collections at the Church, or during public Worship...\" By 1873 the Vestry was talking of \"the Sunday Collections\" so the traditional method must have been resumed.]","Scope and Contents He encloses a copy of a letter to Robert Saunders, Jr., in which he gives his plans to reduce the cost of teaching French if he should be appointed professor of French. He would like Galt to recommend his propos to the members of the Board in his area.","He thinks it will be of service to the students at William and Mary to revive the professorship of Modern Languages and to make French particularly available for the grammar boys. He hopes Galt will present his viewpoint in a favourable light to those with whom he may come in contact.","Enjoyed seeing their friends Rev. Cole, Mr. Vest, Mr. Sheldon and Mr. William Barton Rogers who is bringing this letter. Her mother is happy living here now. She does not like the idea of only seeing those people of whom her parents approve and she and Mary will not go out to the places they are invited by their mother's friends.","Scope and Contents She wonders why she has not heard from her sooner. Pattrick (\"Goody Gracious\") Galt is visiting them and is in good spirits considering that he almost died of cholera. Cholera is rapidly increasing. Mr. Beale's family has left town because of it. She paid her first visit to their new house. It is convenient as far as her mother being able to manage it in her present poor health, but does not like the empty, cold, ceremonious rooms of Louisville houses. Someone has told them that \"Black Hawk\" is a little dried up old man and not the Indians' greatest warrior, but merely a chief.","Scope and Contents Judy writes Alexander that they live in a part of Louisville called Germany because so many of the Dutch live there. The rest of the letter has general bits of news and urges them to write.","Scope and Contents She and her mother have paid morning visits, some of the ladies sent word that they were too busy to be seen instead of the customary \"not at home.\" She was invited to a party with her sisters but refused to go. There have been some steam boat accidents and last week four or five people were scalded to death when a boiler broke. Envies Elizabeth's situation at Mr. Anderson's school. Hopes her father will send Sally and Judy to a good teacher.","Scope and Contents His plans for visiting them have been frustrated. He was ordered to New York and was there two days when he was ordered to Charleston, South Carolina, in the midst of the difficulties of that state with the \"general government.\" He hopes \"that the horrid realities of civil war will be spared us, but considering the phrenzied haste with which the popular leaders of So. Carolina seem determined to push matters, much is to be feared.\" [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents He regrets that is unable to pay the money requested of him.","Scope and Contents Receipt for fifteen dollars paid by Dr. A.D.

Her time is much taken up with receiving and returning morning calls. Judge Crittenden has died here. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","She is planning to sing with the choir, but worries whether she can find a beau to walk her home afterwards. She enjoys playing the piano, but is upset that hers was filled with water when it arrived. The town has had a Methodist minister, an Irishman by the name of Maffet, who has been most theatrical and has induced many of the girls to lay aside their feathers. Still his preaching did not stop a large party last night whereby a twice-married lady entertained. She mentions the marriage of John Minson Galt to Miss Land. [Note: While the year 1832 is plainly written on the envelope side of this letter, comparison of its contents with letters from from Louisville in September 1832 clearly shows that it should be dated 1833. John Minson Galt (1808-1868), son of John Minson (1785-1814) and Nancy Herbert Galt, marrried Anne W. Land (1814-1884) in March 1833. See Galt Genealogy, I.E.7.a., p.7.].","Scope and Contents She could be happy there if she was not full of thoughts of Williamsburg. She fears she will not see him again but hopes to see him in the life to come. She misses them all. She has seen various relatives.

Discusses some of her own domestic achievements in sewing and cooking.","Scope and Contents Compliments her for sending such nice letters to an old man. He has taken two baths so far. He wants some snaps sent to be planted and his silk comfort aired so the moths will not get it. The white sulphur over-flows.","Scope and Contents He makes joking remarks about their mutual acquaintances and throws in veiled innuendos about people and events. Mainly interested in who is courting whom and who has been seeing whom, i.e. Miss N.V. has captured the heart of Alexander Galt, Junior.","Scope and Contents The sulphur water does not agree with either Nancy or himself. He finds it strange that bathing is not accepted as fully in this country as it is by other civilized people. These baths have a particularly \"exciting effect\" for old people. Thinks that most people do not stay long enough to get the full benefits of the baths.","Scope and Contents She laments the death of cousin Lucy and expresses belief they never knew the whole story of her motives. Eliza and Mary Ann each have a new daughter. Their church is being repaired. She sends news of their Galt relatives in Kentucky.

On being called on for a toast he rose and pronounced in a loud voice--'may the bones of Kings and tyrants be introduced in Hell as Grid Irons, to wash the souls of Tories.'

Mary was never very happy in Kentucky and her constant theme in letters to Williamsburg over many years was to return to her old home. Seemingly she never even visited Virginia again after moving in the summer of 1832. She never married, and seems to have sent much time raising her sisters, and then her nieces and nephews].","Scope and Contents Finally got him a treatise on \"the Prevailing Epidemic\" and is sending Dr. Chapman's work on cholera. After Galt has finished, he would like him to send it on to Dr. Garret and then to Henry Sheilds in York.

Appended to letter is note from Pel Bassett to Barbara and Elizabeth apologizing for not writing and mentioning that Mary Chapman is here from Philadelphia cutting many capers. Recounts tales of some of the belles and their flirtations.","Scope and Contents She is worried that they have not heard from them as this is their sickly season. Her father has had trouble finding a house and the ones he has seen have not had separate quarters for the servants. The servants would have to stay in the basement or in the garret rooms. \"This you know cannot be very agreeable to Virginians.\" Rent is high with houses with six rooms being leased from $350 to $500.","Scope and Contents They are busy fixing the house. \"We went to church last Sunday- our minister is a Mr. Page- I hope we shall like him but he has not that calmness and solemnity which I think every minister should possess- he appears to hurry over the service. I like the church very well the pews are large enough to kneel in this is something unusual for a modern church. The congregation in the afternoon reminded me of our poor old church. They were \"few and far between- the music is indifferent but more general as is the responding than in the churches in Richmond.\" Begs her to keep a little journal of events and then send it to her at her leisure. [Note: These two letters are on one sheet].","Scope and Contents He is distressed to hear of the trouble in Williamsburg. J. Temple, Junior, passed through yesterday and told them of the cholera at Coleman's Mill and of her mother's fever. Barbara Page is with them, but will not take her medicine. More deaths have occurred in these watering places than usual. Their return will depend on the cholera conditions.","Scope and Contents Her father has still not found a house yet and talks of moving to Nashvillle or building in the country; neither prospect pleases her. Their church attendance has been irregular due to her mother's sickness. She does not like the idea of contribution boxes being carried through the congregation and prefers the boxes being left at the door. Judge Semple was elected to fill her father's place. She encloses letter from Cousin Judy Browne to Sally M. Galt. Cousin Norborne's house is lovely and it will look better when they finish planting around it. They have althea bushes down the drive-way. [Note: Mary Browne was apparently accustomed to the method of collecting used by Bruton Parish Church when she was in Williamsburg. Although the church had used alms basins since the eighteenth century, the vestry decided April 1, 1828 \"that the peculiar Circumstances of this Congregation render it inexpedient at the Time to make any Collections at the Church, or during public Worship...\" By 1873 the Vestry was talking of \"the Sunday Collections\" so the traditional method must have been resumed.]","Scope and Contents He encloses a copy of a letter to Robert Saunders, Jr., in which he gives his plans to reduce the cost of teaching French if he should be appointed professor of French. He would like Galt to recommend his propos to the members of the Board in his area.","He thinks it will be of service to the students at William and Mary to revive the professorship of Modern Languages and to make French particularly available for the grammar boys. He hopes Galt will present his viewpoint in a favourable light to those with whom he may come in contact.","Enjoyed seeing their friends Rev. Cole, Mr. Vest, Mr. Sheldon and Mr. William Barton Rogers who is bringing this letter. Her mother is happy living here now. She does not like the idea of only seeing those people of whom her parents approve and she and Mary will not go out to the places they are invited by their mother's friends.","Scope and Contents She wonders why she has not heard from her sooner. Pattrick (\"Goody Gracious\") Galt is visiting them and is in good spirits considering that he almost died of cholera. Cholera is rapidly increasing. Mr. Beale's family has left town because of it. She paid her first visit to their new house. It is convenient as far as her mother being able to manage it in her present poor health, but does not like the empty, cold, ceremonious rooms of Louisville houses. Someone has told them that \"Black Hawk\" is a little dried up old man and not the Indians' greatest warrior, but merely a chief.","Scope and Contents Judy writes Alexander that they live in a part of Louisville called Germany because so many of the Dutch live there. The rest of the letter has general bits of news and urges them to write.","Scope and Contents She and her mother have paid morning visits, some of the ladies sent word that they were too busy to be seen instead of the customary \"not at home.\" She was invited to a party with her sisters but refused to go. There have been some steam boat accidents and last week four or five people were scalded to death when a boiler broke. Envies Elizabeth's situation at Mr. Anderson's school. Hopes her father will send Sally and Judy to a good teacher.","Scope and Contents His plans for visiting them have been frustrated. He was ordered to New York and was there two days when he was ordered to Charleston, South Carolina, in the midst of the difficulties of that state with the \"general government.\" He hopes \"that the horrid realities of civil war will be spared us, but considering the phrenzied haste with which the popular leaders of So. Carolina seem determined to push matters, much is to be feared.\" [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents He regrets that is unable to pay the money requested of him.","Scope and Contents Receipt for fifteen dollars paid by Dr. A.D. Galt, Williamsburg, to Leroy Anderson for the tuition of Elizabeth J. Galt.","Scope and Contents She mentions their gloomy Christmas with the church not decorated because of the scarcity of evergreens. The Bishop called for a day of thanksgiving because of the cessation of the cholera. Sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. [George?] Harrison. Has heard from Dr. Cole that the piano is being mailed to her and she is pleased for playing the piano is her only recreation and accomplishment. Her time is much taken up with receiving and returning morning calls. Judge Crittenden has died here. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","She is planning to sing with the choir, but worries whether she can find a beau to walk her home afterwards. She enjoys playing the piano, but is upset that hers was filled with water when it arrived.

Mary was never very happy in Kentucky and her constant theme in letters to Williamsburg over many years was to return to her old home. Seemingly she never even visited Virginia again after moving in the summer of 1832. She never married, and seems to have sent much time raising her sisters, and then her nieces and nephews].","Scope and Contents Finally got him a treatise on \"the Prevailing Epidemic\" and is sending Dr. Chapman's work on cholera. After Galt has finished, he would like him to send it on to Dr. Garret and then to Henry Sheilds in York.

Appended to letter is note from Pel Bassett to Barbara and Elizabeth apologizing for not writing and mentioning that Mary Chapman is here from Philadelphia cutting many capers. Recounts tales of some of the belles and their flirtations.","Scope and Contents She is worried that they have not heard from them as this is their sickly season. Her father has had trouble finding a house and the ones he has seen have not had separate quarters for the servants. The servants would have to stay in the basement or in the garret rooms. \"This you know cannot be very agreeable to Virginians.\" Rent is high with houses with six rooms being leased from $350 to $500.","Scope and Contents They are busy fixing the house. \"We went to church last Sunday- our minister is a Mr. Page- I hope we shall like him but he has not that calmness and solemnity which I think every minister should possess- he appears to hurry over the service. I like the church very well the pews are large enough to kneel in this is something unusual for a modern church. The congregation in the afternoon reminded me of our poor old church. They were \"few and far between- the music is indifferent but more general as is the responding than in the churches in Richmond.\" Begs her to keep a little journal of events and then send it to her at her leisure. [Note: These two letters are on one sheet].","Scope and Contents He is distressed to hear of the trouble in Williamsburg. J. Temple, Junior, passed through yesterday and told them of the cholera at Coleman's Mill and of her mother's fever. Barbara Page is with them, but will not take her medicine. More deaths have occurred in these watering places than usual. Their return will depend on the cholera conditions.","Scope and Contents Her father has still not found a house yet and talks of moving to Nashvillle or building in the country; neither prospect pleases her. Their church attendance has been irregular due to her mother's sickness. She does not like the idea of contribution boxes being carried through the congregation and prefers the boxes being left at the door. Judge Semple was elected to fill her father's place. She encloses letter from Cousin Judy Browne to Sally M. Galt. Cousin Norborne's house is lovely and it will look better when they finish planting around it. They have althea bushes down the drive-way. [Note: Mary Browne was apparently accustomed to the method of collecting used by Bruton Parish Church when she was in Williamsburg. Although the church had used alms basins since the eighteenth century, the vestry decided April 1, 1828 \"that the peculiar Circumstances of this Congregation render it inexpedient at the Time to make any Collections at the Church, or during public Worship...\" By 1873 the Vestry was talking of \"the Sunday Collections\" so the traditional method must have been resumed.]","Scope and Contents He encloses a copy of a letter to Robert Saunders, Jr., in which he gives his plans to reduce the cost of teaching French if he should be appointed professor of French. He would like Galt to recommend his propos to the members of the Board in his area.","He thinks it will be of service to the students at William and Mary to revive the professorship of Modern Languages and to make French particularly available for the grammar boys. He hopes Galt will present his viewpoint in a favourable light to those with whom he may come in contact.","Enjoyed seeing their friends Rev. Cole, Mr. Vest, Mr. Sheldon and Mr. William Barton Rogers who is bringing this letter. Her mother is happy living here now. She does not like the idea of only seeing those people of whom her parents approve and she and Mary will not go out to the places they are invited by their mother's friends.","Scope and Contents She wonders why she has not heard from her sooner. Pattrick (\"Goody Gracious\") Galt is visiting them and is in good spirits considering that he almost died of cholera. Cholera is rapidly increasing. Mr. Beale's family has left town because of it. She paid her first visit to their new house. It is convenient as far as her mother being able to manage it in her present poor health, but does not like the empty, cold, ceremonious rooms of Louisville houses. Someone has told them that \"Black Hawk\" is a little dried up old man and not the Indians' greatest warrior, but merely a chief.","Scope and Contents Judy writes Alexander that they live in a part of Louisville called Germany because so many of the Dutch live there. The rest of the letter has general bits of news and urges them to write.","Scope and Contents She and her mother have paid morning visits, some of the ladies sent word that they were too busy to be seen instead of the customary \"not at home.\" She was invited to a party with her sisters but refused to go. There have been some steam boat accidents and last week four or five people were scalded to death when a boiler broke. Envies Elizabeth's situation at Mr. Anderson's school. Hopes her father will send Sally and Judy to a good teacher.","Scope and Contents His plans for visiting them have been frustrated. He was ordered to New York and was there two days when he was ordered to Charleston, South Carolina, in the midst of the difficulties of that state with the \"general government.\" He hopes \"that the horrid realities of civil war will be spared us, but considering the phrenzied haste with which the popular leaders of So. Carolina seem determined to push matters, much is to be feared.\" [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","Scope and Contents He regrets that is unable to pay the money requested of him.","Scope and Contents Receipt for fifteen dollars paid by Dr. A.D. Galt, Williamsburg, to Leroy Anderson for the tuition of Elizabeth J. Galt.","Scope and Contents She mentions their gloomy Christmas with the church not decorated because of the scarcity of evergreens. The Bishop called for a day of thanksgiving because of the cessation of the cholera. Sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. [George?] Harrison. Has heard from Dr. Cole that the piano is being mailed to her and she is pleased for playing the piano is her only recreation and accomplishment. Her time is much taken up with receiving and returning morning calls. Judge Crittenden has died here. [Note: Mary D. Galt is Mrs. A.D. Galt.]","She is planning to sing with the choir, but worries whether she can find a beau to walk her home afterwards. She enjoys playing the piano, but is upset that hers was filled with water when it arrived. The town has had a Methodist minister, an Irishman by the name of Maffet, who has been most theatrical and has induced many of the girls to lay aside their feathers.
