Alexina Galt, Norfolk, to William R. Galt, Pattonsburg, Virginia, [circa 1848-1854?] February 29, March 6
Scope and Contents
The letter is signed by "Zena". Praises Frank [Frances Land Galt?]. Charlotte Capron has left for the same school as Lucy attended, and they hope it will do her as much good. Do not expect to see Cousin Susan as she is very lame. Discusses the sizes of William, Jim, Alexander, and their half-brother Patrick. Cousin William Galt is on his way home, but Gabriella's letter gave the impression they were not too happy about it. Mr. Pegram saw Alexander's bust in New York and praises it highly.
