Anne Burwell Garland, Petersburg, to Frances Burwell Catlett, Timberneck, Gloucester., 1847 July 19
Scope and Contents
Mrs. Bott came in tonight and says tell Mama that Anna has a son named Dandridge Spotswood who is about 3 weeks old and is doing well. Brother R is fond of it. Amy is still weak. Behind with sewing work because Lizzie has to mind the baby so much. In dreadful spirits. Disappointed at Mama not coming with Mrs. Jones. Caroline joined the Church Sunday before last. Yesterday Spotswood was baptized and it hurt that Mama wasn’t there. Hope Brother J will be able to sell the colt to get the money so that Mama can take what she needs of it. Tried to collect money but failed and am tiring of death and debt. Mr. G and Mary are well. Expect Mama with Dr. S. and Lady. Write by Dr. S because he will return next Sunday.
