John Coalter, Staunton, to St. George Tucker, 1818 August 27
Scope and Contents
We found the convention in session. Henry (Tucker) is here. We have remained at Johnsons and Mary insists on keeping the girls. Saint and I will go to the plantation. The project to call a convention without the aid of the legislature failed. Am at a loss as to what to do with my dear girls. Henry recommends Philadelphia. He says Sandy Campbell's wife is the best educated woman he knows. I saw a young lady at Mrs. .Woods who has assisted in the female school here. I have written to see if she would be a companion and teacher to my girls.
