Cary (Caroline Lambert), Richmond, to Elizabeth Galt, Williamsburg, 1835 May 13
Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents She prefers Willis' pieces to Bryant's, though "Bryant and Dana are generally ranked above Willis." If she could visit Europe, she would go first to Italy and Greece. She has read "Six Months in a Convent" and the "Beauties of the Court of Charles the Second," and found nothing "pre-judicial to mor" in the latter. She mentions Charley Kennedy, Mrs. Murdaugh, Mrs. Young, and Col. McCandlish. [Note: Enclosed is a small amount of what might have been very blonde hair. It is now so pale as to be almost invisible, and in very short pieces.].
