Robert Tyler, Gloucester Place, to Thomas Martin, Jr., Williamsburg, 1835
Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents He has been home a week and is tired of it, so hopes to leave soon. "I have a cousin who is about to be tied in holy bands of wedlock to a gentleman of this ilk and my brother goes over... to purchase a few necessities for the occasion." The wedding is to take place the 30th of the month, and Robert expects Thomas about that time. A cousin named George who just graduated from West Point is there. He hopes strongly that "Lizzy and all at Dr. Galts are well." He sends messages to Elizabeth Galt and Coraline Low. [Note: Could the wedding referred to be the one Mary mentions in her letter of July 13, thus dating this letter in July?].
