Norborne A. Galt, Louisville, to Dr. A.D Galt, Williamsburg, 1827 February 14
Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents His maternal grandfather is dead. His father had a bad tumor on his chin, but had it cured by a Dr. Harrison of Bardstown. The area is improving, the ponds will be drained in the spring and a canal is being build around the falls. The society is of a more refined kind. Some people have been trying to put through blue laws. He is opposed for he believes in the Galt tradition of "wrong no one--do as much good as possible, and futurity can have no terrors." He is sorry to hear Spotswood Christian lost in his courting of Lucy Jane. He wants to hear how John Williamson is progressing with medicine.
