Cousin Kate Flournoy asks if Carrington has a picture of Colonel William Cabell and DC Jackson writes a full description of a carriage and phaeton he is selling and various relatives and business write of farm and local matters. A list "Patrons of Miss K. Boyds' School" is included. Carrington Grigsby met, courted and then became engaged to Miss Mary H. Boyd in 1897. She is a teacher, possibly at the Shepperson home. By December 13, something occurred and the engagement was ended. Correspondence from friends, family, and Miss Boyd. Mary B. Galt writes that she would not "call on Miss M. Hugh Blair because it would be premature." On November 10, Mrs. Mary B. Galt writes "I am truly delighted that she has at last decided positively...and I have written her a real nice sisterly note". Miss Boyd writes, "Thank you for what you said in regard to my fine judgement. I promise you that all of my influence (if I have any) shall be used in your behalf." Cousin Emma Lou Stringfellow writes to Mary H. Boyd in which she says "I know he is one of nature's best nobleman..." and gives many other attributes of Carrington. The December 13 breakup letter from Mary H. Boyd says, "if I could have been launched in to matrimony on the high-tide of my feelings...all would have been well but those things that have broken my dream of yours...frightened and chilled me and I cannot find it in my heart to forgive the fate that makes it so". John Whitehead writes, "I presume...the estrangement is permanent...there are thousands of lovely ladies in Virginia." Some undated letters from Miss Boyd are at the end of the folder. Mrs. Cynthia B. T. Coleman of Williamsburg answers a letter from Carrington about purchasing two chairs belonging to her Uncle William Randolph. She jokes that she barely has two hundred cents much less $200 to buy them. She notes "if Randolfhians is at such a premium I think I had better make my fortune selling off my silver and glass that he brought with him from England. Poor as I am I think I will keep these treasures and hand them down to my children's children."
