James Lee to Louisa Lee, 1840 September 30
Scope and Contents
A letter, dated September 30, 1845, from James Lee in Williamsburg, Virginia to Louisa C. Lee. James reports that her letter came to him by way of Mr. Stephen Wright, who also brought a dish. He compliments Wright’s “deportment” and calls him “polite and conciliating.” Their daughter, Virginia, and Cordelia are still with him and will be for a while yet, which is fine with him. He includes instructions for how to spend the money he has sent and some news of the town including word of Willis Barlow’s illness, which abated after a large blister plaster was applied to his stomach.
