Robert Saunders at Richmond to his wife Lucy at Williamsburg, 1847 February 2
Scope and Contents
Went to St. Paul’s in Richmond to hear Bishop John Johns preach. Disappointed by the appearance of someone else preaching in place of Johns. John’s appointment (as President of the College of William and Mary) is much talked about in Richmond. Would not know what to say to Johns if they met. Is more and more inclined to leave the college “after the next course” because of the actions of the Visitors. Will see Holmes again in reference to the situation at the college. Lucy is to have Edmund send oysters via Mr. Whitaker.
