Scope and Contents

A letter, dated January 22, 1834, from John Page addressed to Edwin A. Teagle, Esquire, in Williamsburg, Virginia. Page apologizes for not responding sooner. He writes, “The violence of Party Spirit, I believe, has alienated some of my friends from me, and ill health has alienated me in a great measure from the world, but as long as I breathe I shall desire the friendship of the good and shall grieve to lose the regard of those I once esteemed, whilst I trust my conduct both in public and in private will always be governed by a sense of Justice & Right, regardless of consequences.”
