Mary Tyler, Washington, to Elizabeth Galt, Williamsburg, 1835 February 22
Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents She wishes she could have seen the "dark eyed one," for while she sees his faults, she is infatuated with him. She wants to know what "the Camomile" said. She went to the levee for half an hour, where both President Jackson and Vice President Van Buren shook her hand. Then went to Duff Greens' and danced, and received many compliments. Another day she went to the Senate chamber and met most of the Senators. The previous night was at a musical party at Governor Poindexter's, with supper at eleven standing around a table. She has received about fifteen visits in two days and dreads having to return them all. She includes her thoughts on love and beaux.
