- Scope and content:
-
Has written frequently. Her last letter now in his baggage. In last letter gave opinion of her tutor. Endeavored to get one for her boys. Bad one worse than none. Minds will not want if bodies be invigorated with exercise and manners watched with prudent care. Paltry jargon of schools constitutes smallest part of a gentleman's accomplishment if rightly understood. Patsy (Martha (Dangerfield) Bland) has been near the scene of action. Father (Theodorick Bland, Sr.) happy once more in a domestic companion (Elizabeth (Randolph) Yates Bland). Has written to him, John Banister, Colonel Nathaniel Harrison and Mr. Page. From these and from Patsy she will hear all he knows.
