Scope and Contents

A letter, dated November 7, 1830, from Susan Teagle, Williamsburg, Virginia, to Edwin Teagle, her son, in Portsmouth, Virginia. Susan begins by saying she is glad Edwin’s sore throat is better. Then she mentions her surprise at learning that Mrs. [Susan Perry] has recently gotten married. She refers to James Lee again as a father to her fatherless children. Susan tells Edwin not to neglect his business to visit her at Christmas. She relays the news that Richard Bowden, the recently appointed Post Master in Williamsburg, is suspected of stealing mail, and utilizes Bowden’s mother’s anguish as a moral lesson for Edwin.
