Mary Browne, Louisville, to Elizabeth J. Galt, Williamsburg, 1832 October 23
Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents She wonders why she has not heard from her sooner. Pattrick ("Goody Gracious") Galt is visiting them and is in good spirits considering that he almost died of cholera. Cholera is rapidly increasing. Mr. Beale's family has left town because of it. She paid her first visit to their new house. It is convenient as far as her mother being able to manage it in her present poor health, but does not like the empty, cold, ceremonious rooms of Louisville houses. Someone has told them that "Black Hawk" is a little dried up old man and not the Indians' greatest warrior, but merely a chief.
