Norborne A. Galt, Louisville, to John Minson Galt Jr. II, Williamsburg, 1838 December 2
Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents If John plans to study medicine, suggests that he come to medical school in Louisville, which he describes as to facilities and students. If John comes, he is welcome to stay at Norborne's home. Suggests John travel there and look the school over, since the trip is "nothing" and takes only a week. Has had news of Gabriel G. Williamson by a man rescued by the Grampus. John Browne is to marry Laura Booth soon. Laura's nineteen year old brother is marrying a girl not yet fifteen. Thought Judy [Browne] would marry Edwin Booth, but now is not sure. Mentions John Murdaugh and Williams Pryor. [Note: John Browne and Laura Booth were married 11 December 1838 while Judy Browne and Edwin Booth married 20 June 1840. While Norborne calls Edwin Laura's "brother", it seems likely that they were twins, for they were both born in 1816. See Galt Genealogy, II. C. 4andamp;5, p. 15].
