Letitia Tyler Semple to Sally M. Galt
Scope and Contents
Understands that Dr. Coleman has purchased Mr. Ewell's house, and thus will not need to rent hers next year. She never expects to return to Williamsburg, for cannot bear to see the places her sisters walked. Has not heard from Robert Waller for a long time. Willy is a surgeon [?] in Lynchburg. Mary Stuart is beautiful. She saw her at Old Point this summer with Catherine Speed. [Last sheet only] [Note: Robert, Willy, and Mary are surely children of Letitia's sister, Elizabeth, who married William Waller. All Letitia's full sisters predeceased her by many years.]
