Elizabeth Tucker (1747-), Bermuda to St. George Tucker, 1775 March 16
Scope and Contents
Natty (Nathaniel Tucker) arrived safely in Carolina after a fortnight's passage. Donald Campbell did not make a conquest of my heart. We went to plays. Some young gentlemen and ladies under the tuition of one Mr. Holt, a schoolmaster lately from England. Entertained the public three or four evenings during the last Christmas holidays by acting the "Tragedy of Cato." They exhibited at the Lane. The playhouse scenes were much of a piece with those we had there before. Matty was anxious to know how The Bermudian was received in England. Brother Harry (Henry Tucker) has purchased the house that Captain Smith owned.
