Elizabeth Galt to Mary Tyler Jones, Gloucester Place, 1836 January 18
Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents Many have remarked on Mary's wedding and seem to agree with the "modern writer who says 'Perfect love and confidence can exist only before marriage... Different feelings and separate objects of interest inevitably spring up... The love may still remain but the confidence... is gone." Dr. John Galt Williamson, who she describes as "the blissful candidate for matrimony", goes to Richmond tomorrow, and will be married next Thursday. Elizabeth is not well enough to go to the wedding.
