- Scope and content:
-
News of many relatives in Williamsburg and elsewhere, including Gabriella Galt, Charlotte Capron, Mrs. Dickie Galt, and the Southall and Williamson families. Feels Williamsburg will ultimately be a large town, as several buildings are going up and the College and schools, while not large, are satisfactory. While things are now quiet at the Asylum, the appointment of a new Board next year will probably cause political problems. Dr. Stribling [?] has recently resigned from the Asylum at Staunton. Comments on the recent Presidental election. Draft.
