Containers:
Box 2, Folder 9, Item 3
Scope and content:

A letter, dated November 22, 1838, from [William?] Henry Teagle to his brother, Frederick B. Teagle, in Williamsburg, Virginia. Teagle mentions the recent death of their sister, Emeline, as well as the death of their mother, Susan. He writes, "Dear Brother, there is but few of us now remaining and we the oldest, we should endeavour to work together for each other good, and prepare for that prepaired place which is beyond the reach of the eye of man."

Teagle says his work in Lexington will prevent him from traveling to Williamsburg and asks that Frederick tell "Mr. Lee" to simply send his share when he has determined what it should be. He stresses that he trusts Lee and accepts whatever is sent. He writes that he plans to marry soon and will make Lexington his home, adding that he has "abandoned all vice and dissipation."
