Jo. Greenhow, Williamsburg, to Dr. Alexander Galt, Southwark, London, 1793 February 10
Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents Greenhow bemoans the boredom of his life and compares it to a prison, relieved only by reading. Mr. John Randolph ["of Roanoke" (1773-1833)] and Mr. Robert Taylor, Junior, engaged in a duel. After three shots were fired, Mr. Tayor was wounded in the right buttock. The main topic of conversation has been the French Revolution, with numerous balls being held throughout the United States. Mrs. Blair, Mrs. Hallam, John Saunders, and Samuel Crawley have died.
