Bondurant and \n          Emily (Morrison) Bondurant were the chief\n         correspondents in this collection. \n          Alexander J.

A copy of her\n         reminiscences can be found in the Rare Books collection (F 231\n         .B65 1944 1962ed). The \n          Morrison family material consists chiefly of\n         the papers of Rev. \n          James Morrison (1797-1870), including\n         correspondence concerning his family, his congregation, and\n         the \n          Presbyterian Church ; also included are\n         his seminary and sermon notes from 1815-1874, and diaries and\n         account books for his home, \n          Bellevue .","Subjects included in this collection are farms in \n          Buckingham Co., Va. , family affairs, the\n         Civil War, school administration in \n          Buckingham Co. , \n          Auburn University , the \n          University of Virginia , mining and\n         mineral rights in \n          Virginia , immigrant land schemes in \n          Virginia , including the \n          James River Valley Immigrant Society and\n         the \n          Virginia Land and Immigrant Company , \n          Virginia and national politics, tobacco\n         culture in \n          Australia and the southern \n          United States , Rev. \n          James Morrison 's education at the \n          University of North Carolina , his\n         pastorates in \n          North Carolina and \n          Virginia , the \n          Presbyterian Church in the South, and the \n          Bellevue School in \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia .","Most of the personal correspondence in the collection is\n         concerned with family matters. A great deal of the letters\n         discussed agriculture with regard to the family farms,\n         especially \n          Variety Shade , and \n          Alexander J. Bondurant 's various\n         agricultural positions and interests. AJB's letters from \n          Australia to various family members\n         spanned the period from 1896 to 1901. These contain some\n         information on agriculture and the culture of \n          Australia . Some of the letters from \n          Charles W. Dabney to \n          A.J. Bondurant (1881-1898) discuss iron\n         ore and mineral rights in \n          Virginia as well as agriculture.","The Civil War and its affects is another subject to be\n         found in the correspondence. Letters from \n          Emily (Morrison) Bondurant to \n          Alexander J. Bondurant mention her\n         brothers' war activities and posts (29 Jul, 8 Aug, and 11 Aug\n         1862; 6 [Apr] and 22 Apr 1863; 1 Mar, 28 Mar, 5 Apr 1865). A\n         13 May 1863 letter from \n          Thomas Lee Bondurant to \n          A.J.Bondurant mentions the reaction to the\n         death of General \n          Thomas \"Stonewall\" Jackson . Letters to \n          E.M. Bondurant from \n          A.J. Bondurant mention the war and his\n         desire to support the army (12 Apr, 27 Apr, 26 May 1863). Rev.\n          James Morrison also wrote to his daughter \n          E.M. Bondurant about the war and her\n         brother, \n          Samuel Morrison 's appointment as a\n         surgeon in the army (5 Nov 1861, 23 May 1865). Letters to Rev.\n          James Morrison mention the early rumblings\n         of the Civil War and rumors of secession (25 Jul, 20 Oct, 9\n         Nov, 4 Dec 1860), as well as letters from his sons telling of\n         their posts (20 Feb, 4 Dec 1863; 14 Jan, 21 May 1863).","Politics is also a prominent subject in some of the\n         correspondence. The \n          Bondurants were active in the publishing\n         of the \n          Richmond Whig (est. 1824) and it is\n         mentioned in a few letters. \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions that \n          George [P. Bondurant] (1838-1886) wanted\n         to leave the management of the paper to \n          A.J. Bondurant . \n          Thomas M. Bondurant mentions the paper in\n         a letter (19 Nov 1857) to his son \n          A.J. Bondurant . A letter from \n          George P. Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions the \n          Whig again and the \n          Bondurant interests in the paper (22 Mar\n         1896). Local and national politics is found in several letters\n         from \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant (26 Jul, 27 Sep, 8, 11, 31\n         Oct 1896). Letters from \n          Alexander Lee Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mention local politics and\n         the race for the legislature (25 Oct 1887, 7 May 1889). \n          Thomas M. Bondurant was also concerned\n         with local politics; a letter from \n          J.T. Bocock mentions Sen. \n          Flood and local tax collecting practices\n         and the justice system and how they could be changed (8 Jan\n         1834).","Religion and the \n          Presbyterian Church is also a prominent\n         subject in the correspondence of Rev. \n          James Morrison , pastor of \n          New Providence Presbyterian Church , \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia . The letters\n         from Rev. \n          Elam J. Morrison from Rev. \n          James Morrison (1820-1826) are concerned\n         with family matters, friends in the ministry, questions and\n         and advice about the ministry, the Presbytery and synods.\n         Letters to Rev. \n          James Morrison (1813-1863, n.d.) contain\n         many similar topics and include family letters and letters\n         from friends and relatives in the ministry.","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

Venable Sr. (1763-1838) who was one of the sons of Nathaniel Venable (1733-1804), one of the founders of Hampden-Sydney College and the original builder and owner of Slate Hill. The Slate Hill house and plantation was passed to Richard N. Venable Sr. after Nathaniel died and he passed it down to his son Richard N. Venable Jr. When John's father died, the Slate Hill house and plantation was inherited by his brother Henry Venable (1835-1861) but he did not have the property long before he died in the beginning of the Civil War which left the property to John. John and his wife Bettie (1835-1932) never had any children so after John passed, the property went to his other brother, Richard Morton Venable (1839-1910). John was also served in the Civil War, a member of the 21st Virginia Infantry and his resignation was accepted by the Secretary of War on 22 December 1863.","Richard N.

The entries in the account book begin after the 1840s so it is believed to have been used by William's son, Thomas Franklin Venable (1812-1881) who was also a merchant and planter. He attended Hampden-Sydney College and lived on the College grounds for some time in what eventually became known as the \"Thornton House.\"","\tThere are two sections of this account with two different owners. The first section is the accounting portion which belonged to Richard Nathaniel Venable who was born in 1763 and died in 1836.

After Nathaniel died, Richard inherited the main house on the Slate Hill Plantation, which was later demolished in 1971.

He also served in the Civil War, was referred to as Major Venable, and was also a farmer. Due to the fact that there were two Major Venables in the same area and around the same age, the younger Venable began going by Junior as a nickname. A.R.V. (1832-1909) also attended and graduated from Hampden-Sydney College. A.R.V. (1830-1913) was the grandson of Richard Nathaniel Venable (1763-1838) and A.R.V. (1832-1909) was the grandson of Samuel W.

Most of the record books on microfilm are court records, but there are also several private record books of local businesses and organizations. Reels 125-247 include several duplicates of earlier reels. Reels 81, 95, 114-124, 249-250, 278-279, 302-303, 325, 335-336, 338, 372-373, 376, 378, 381, 395, 400-403, 418-427, and 432-437 do not exist because the collection was reprocessed; all material is available either on microfilm or the original materials. Reels 812 and 814 were formerly A\u0026M 0867. ","\nHighlights include Civil War Discharge Records, 1864-1866 (item 341, reel 87) and records of the Regimental Court of Inquiry 4th Regiment Virginia Militia (item 340, reel 87); and Jailor's record of lunacy and prisoners (item 552, OHI 230). ","\nSeries 2- Paper Materials consists of 595 boxes of papers relating primarily to court records, as well as some public records. The subjects of the court cases commonly include debt, as well as misdemeanors, violent crimes, estate, and unlawful retailing. The majority of the public records have to do with administration, particularly of roads, as well as records of land, plats, surveys, and deeds (1782-1917) and naturalizations. These materials are arranged into folders labeled \"envelopes,\" referring to how the materials were originally organized. The envelopes are arranged in chronological order, and are sorted within years by court level, including county, circuit, criminal, and federal. ","\nHighlights include records of enslaved and freedpeople, and some records of apprenticeships. For more details, see Series 2. There is also a poem about the Free Soil debate (1861, env. 232 A-4). ","\nMilitary records, from 1776-1898, include a pension for a soldier who fought under George Washington at Valley Forge (1832, env. 126), two bonds of commission (1776, env. 1), and other records of pensions, enlistments, officer rolls, bounties, and deaths. ","\nHealth-related records include several records concerning the management of smallpox (111, 112, 112A, 122B, and 139 A), a report from an investigation into a slaughterhouse (358 A), and papers about the creation of Elm Grove Hospital (139 A). There are insanity/lunacy proceedings through 1917 (in the card index under both lunacy and insanity). ","\nOther interesting court records include prosecutions of \"Houses of Ill Fame\" (brothels) and distributing obscene materials (several, including env. 269 B-3 and env. 380 E-1).  There is an account by John Vanmetre on being kidnapped by \"Indians\" as a child (1825, env. 94). Also,  there is a letter from a man in Richmond about a bank panic (1873, env. 300). ","\nLastly there are several land records signed by notable figures, including presidents and governors of Virginia, including a copy of a land patent for James Buchannon (1782, env. 1); a deed signed by Edmund Randolph (1788, env. 1); two deeds signed by James Monroe (1801, env. 45 and 1826, env. 100 B); and a land grant signed by Benjamin Harrison (1806, env. 21-B). ","\nSeries 3- Record Books includes 128 record books, not arranged in a particular order. These record books are predominantly public and private records. Public records include deed books, birth, marriage, and death records, and land records. Private ledgers are record books of local organizations, including the Wheeling Masonic Hall, the Wheeling Grape and Sugar Refining Company, and the Hook, Schrader and Co. Horse-Drawn Carriage Company, and the West Virginia State Fair Association. There are also a few dockets, witness books, and order books.

The 43 boxes of paper materials which have not been filmed are available for viewing on site. The record books which have not been filmed are primarily stored off site. This collection is arranged into three series: Microfilm, Paper Materials, and Record Books.  ","\nSeries 1- Microfilm includes 768 reels of microfilm. The first 38 reels of the microfilm are copies of the card index. Reels 39-247 are copies of record books (Series 3), and the remainder are copies of paper materials (Series 2). Most of the record books on microfilm are court records, but there are also several private record books of local businesses and organizations. Reels 125-247 include several duplicates of earlier reels. Reels 81, 95, 114-124, 249-250, 278-279, 302-303, 325, 335-336, 338, 372-373, 376, 378, 381, 395, 400-403, 418-427, and 432-437 do not exist because the collection was reprocessed; all material is available either on microfilm or the original materials.

","\nSeries 2- Paper Materials consists of 595 boxes of papers relating primarily to court records, as well as some public records. The subjects of the court cases commonly include debt, as well as misdemeanors, violent crimes, estate, and unlawful retailing. The majority of the public records have to do with administration, particularly of roads, as well as records of land, plats, surveys, and deeds (1782-1917) and naturalizations. These materials are arranged into folders labeled \"envelopes,\" referring to how the materials were originally organized. The envelopes are arranged in chronological order, and are sorted within years by court level, including county, circuit, criminal, and federal. ","\nHighlights include records of enslaved and freedpeople, and some records of apprenticeships. For more details, see Series 2. There is also a poem about the Free Soil debate (1861, env. 232 A-4). ","\nMilitary records, from 1776-1898, include a pension for a soldier who fought under George Washington at Valley Forge (1832, env. 126), two bonds of commission (1776, env. 1), and other records of pensions, enlistments, officer rolls, bounties, and deaths. ","\nHealth-related records include several records concerning the management of smallpox (111, 112, 112A, 122B, and 139 A), a report from an investigation into a slaughterhouse (358 A), and papers about the creation of Elm Grove Hospital (139 A). There are insanity/lunacy proceedings through 1917 (in the card index under both lunacy and insanity). ","\nOther interesting court records include prosecutions of \"Houses of Ill Fame\" (brothels) and distributing obscene materials (several, including env. 269 B-3 and env. 380 E-1).  There is an account by John Vanmetre on being kidnapped by \"Indians\" as a child (1825, env. 94). Also,  there is a letter from a man in Richmond about a bank panic (1873, env. 300). ","\nLastly there are several land records signed by notable figures, including presidents and governors of Virginia, including a copy of a land patent for James Buchannon (1782, env. 1); a deed signed by Edmund Randolph (1788, env. 1); two deeds signed by James Monroe (1801, env. 45 and 1826, env. 100 B); and a land grant signed by Benjamin Harrison (1806, env. 21-B). ","\nSeries 3- Record Books includes 128 record books, not arranged in a particular order. These record books are predominantly public and private records. Public records include deed books, birth, marriage, and death records, and land records. Private ledgers are record books of local organizations, including the Wheeling Masonic Hall, the Wheeling Grape and Sugar Refining Company, and the Hook, Schrader and Co.

The 43 boxes of paper materials which have not been filmed are available for viewing on site. The record books which have not been filmed are primarily stored off site. This collection is arranged into three series: Microfilm, Paper Materials, and Record Books.  ","\nSeries 1- Microfilm includes 768 reels of microfilm. The first 38 reels of the microfilm are copies of the card index. Reels 39-247 are copies of record books (Series 3), and the remainder are copies of paper materials (Series 2). Most of the record books on microfilm are court records, but there are also several private record books of local businesses and organizations. Reels 125-247 include several duplicates of earlier reels. Reels 81, 95, 114-124, 249-250, 278-279, 302-303, 325, 335-336, 338, 372-373, 376, 378, 381, 395, 400-403, 418-427, and 432-437 do not exist because the collection was reprocessed; all material is available either on microfilm or the original materials.

","\nSeries 2- Paper Materials consists of 595 boxes of papers relating primarily to court records, as well as some public records. The subjects of the court cases commonly include debt, as well as misdemeanors, violent crimes, estate, and unlawful retailing. The majority of the public records have to do with administration, particularly of roads, as well as records of land, plats, surveys, and deeds (1782-1917) and naturalizations. These materials are arranged into folders labeled \"envelopes,\" referring to how the materials were originally organized. The envelopes are arranged in chronological order, and are sorted within years by court level, including county, circuit, criminal, and federal. ","\nHighlights include records of enslaved and freedpeople, and some records of apprenticeships. For more details, see Series 2. There is also a poem about the Free Soil debate (1861, env. 232 A-4). ","\nMilitary records, from 1776-1898, include a pension for a soldier who fought under George Washington at Valley Forge (1832, env. 126), two bonds of commission (1776, env. 1), and other records of pensions, enlistments, officer rolls, bounties, and deaths. ","\nHealth-related records include several records concerning the management of smallpox (111, 112, 112A, 122B, and 139 A), a report from an investigation into a slaughterhouse (358 A), and papers about the creation of Elm Grove Hospital (139 A). There are insanity/lunacy proceedings through 1917 (in the card index under both lunacy and insanity). ","\nOther interesting court records include prosecutions of \"Houses of Ill Fame\" (brothels) and distributing obscene materials (several, including env. 269 B-3 and env. 380 E-1).  There is an account by John Vanmetre on being kidnapped by \"Indians\" as a child (1825, env. 94). Also,  there is a letter from a man in Richmond about a bank panic (1873, env. 300). ","\nLastly there are several land records signed by notable figures, including presidents and governors of Virginia, including a copy of a land patent for James Buchannon (1782, env. 1); a deed signed by Edmund Randolph (1788, env. 1); two deeds signed by James Monroe (1801, env. 45 and 1826, env. 100 B); and a land grant signed by Benjamin Harrison (1806, env. 21-B). ","\nSeries 3- Record Books includes 128 record books, not arranged in a particular order. These record books are predominantly public and private records. Public records include deed books, birth, marriage, and death records, and land records. Private ledgers are record books of local organizations, including the Wheeling Masonic Hall, the Wheeling Grape and Sugar Refining Company, and the Hook, Schrader and Co.

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.

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.

Cole, Mr. Vest, Mr. Sheldon and Mr. William Barton Rogers who is bringing this letter. Her mother is happy living here now.

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.

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.

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.

Galt.","An account, April 1, 1809-December 7, 1829, for postage totalling $516.52.","An account, January 1830-July 17, 1835, for various items amounting to $592.05.","Document.","An account of, March 31, 1830-August 21, 1835, for various goods amounting to $147.80.","Scope and Contents A receipt for one year's subscription to the Virginia Phoenix (1829-1830) owed by Dr. A.D.

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.

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. The Faulcons left yesterday and they plan to overtake them and visit with them at General Cocke's at Bremo. He rejoices that they have had such a healthy season.
