Robert B. Tunstall, Norfolk, to William R. Galt, 1859 October 25
Scope and Contents
Many people will not discuss Galt's school with him, so he can give him little information. The reasons he has heard for people not sending their sons include too long a vacation, too distant a location, and need for more teachers. Inquires if Galt could follow G. Harrison's example. Alex is at William and Mary. Tells of Gabriel Galt Williamson's death at Pensacola from a fever contracted at Key West. Mrs. Williamson is in Williamsburg.
