B. F. Garrett, Halifax Court House, to Dr. John M. Galt, 1846
- Containers:
- Box Series 2, Box 7, Folder 68
- Scope and content:
-
Sends the names of Stephen Kent, Sam B. Mayor, and John F. McCearman who want copies of the Report of the Lunatic Asylum. Understands Dr. Stribbling sends a copy of the report from the Western Asylum to each delegate. Feels that the law John wants should be passed, as Stribbling's report shows that formerly patients ill for a period of time were not admitted by the Directors. Inquires if Mr. Dew and Miss Hay are yet married. Hopes his Negroes are behaving and that Galt will keep them another year "for it would be a serious incovenience to me if they should, by bad conduct, lost their places."
