Scope and Contents

A letter, dated October 15, 1839, from James Lee in Williamsburg, Virginia to Louisa C. Lee in Norfolk, Virginia. James tells Louisa that the letter and bandbox she sent arrived and that their daughter Virginia is very pleased with the frock. He is pleased to hear that she is well and approves of her plan to delay her return home because there is “such an influx of students, every day, to render it unpleasant in traveling, in the Hack, from Jamestown to Williamsburg.” He also fears a “spell of rainy weather” so her delay will likely be a good thing. He writes that Virginia sends her love, and he asks Louisa to send Mr. Horace and Mr. Peter March his regards.
