Elizabeth J. Galt, Williamsburg, to Capt. Patrick H. Galt, U.S. Army, Old Point Comfort
Scope and Contents
Thanks him for the package of books and London papers. Spends the time "wrested from sickness" in helping John by making pens, sealing, transcribing, and correcting proofs. Describes some of their new books. Williamsburg seldom changes, but she can see one improvement from her window- "a broad gravel walk from our house round to the street: a consideration where the streets are guiltless of pavement."
