Scope and Contents Consigns William to her care while he is in college. He has chosen engineering for a profession, so "should take tickets from Mr. Saunders, [and] Mr. Millington in Chemistry and civil Engineering." Fears the best boarding houses are full but hopes Judge Christian will take him in. Mrs. Galt is to dole out William's money to him, but "he will have but the little occasion for money if he attends to his studies as he has promised to do." Wonders if it is true that John is going South. Their son has been ill but is getting better. Caroline has been away. [Note: William Lambert (1790-1853) was the son of David Lambert and his wife Sarah Ege, and thus a first cousin of Mary D. Galt. William is William Lambert's son, and Caroline his daughter, the "Cary" of the many letters to Elizabeth J. Galt. See Ege Genealogy, II. C. 2., pp. 14-15.].
