Scope and Contents News of the various Galts in Williamsburg, especially William and Cornelius, and comments on actions of Gabriel Capron. Christopher Pryor plans to start a school in Williamsburg. By October hope to have both a female seminary and a boys school, and hope the College may be resuscitated. [Note: William Galt may be William Trebell Galt (1814-1854), son of William and Mary Arnet Godwin Galt. See Galt Genealogy, I.E.1.c.p 5. Cornelius is probably a half-brother of John G. Williamson. Gabriel Capron is probably Gabriel Galt Capron (1835- ) son of Richard and Sarah Galt Capron. See Galt Genealogy, I.E. 12. e. p. 11.]
