Scope and Contents

4 Dec[em]b[e]r 1808. Jane C. C[harlton], W[illia]msburg, [Virginia], to Sarah C. Watts, New London, [Virginia]. Cannot imagine why Mr. Callaway would have led her [Jane C. Charlton] to believe that she [Sarah C. Watts] was to marry Mr. Irvine; there are almost 70 eligible men in town, "which is a large number considering the Embargo"; Mr. Anderson is pleased to be in Lynchburg; mention of Mrs. Camp and Maria Moody; the students have formed a military company, and parade every Saturday in beautiful scarlet coats and "black velvet gaters," including her [Sarah C. Watts] handsome beau [Mr. Irvine?]; also heard that he is superior to anyone in the Junior Class, and hopes that she will pass the information on to his sister; has heard that Eliza [(Wright) Mayo] and her husband are doing poor financially, neither of them being "economists"; more mention of various girls and their beaux.
