My dear Sally

I have sent you one of the corset[?] patterns which were worn when I was in Richmond. But the most fashionable ones are those that are  pleated[?] in the middle a yard and a half in between for yard wide colinets[?] are not worn at all.

Mr. Massie told you the reason I did not write by him. It snowed so fast while he was here that I could not go out and after he left us the streets were so bad that I scarcaely ever put my head out of doors. 

I should have written afterwards but I did not know where to direct. 

When I was down I got ten yards of edging at six and nine pence a yard and if you choose you can have four yards of that. I will send you a little piece of it to look at. 

[I]t is so cold that I cannot write any more.

                                                yours affectionately

                                                          LHJ

[p.s.] The colent[?] that I have sent must be turned in when you put it on. I will mark the place so that you can see it. 

LHJ = Lucy Hopkins Johnston (1800-1888) married Thomas Marshall Ambler (1791-1875) on April 14, 1819. Their main abode was "Morven," Fauquier County, Virginia, from about 1820 on. For a link, see here. 

Sarah "Sally" Tate Steptoe Massie (1796-1828) was married to William Massie (1795-1862) and was the daughter of James Steptoe (1750-1826). Their son Thomas "Tommo" James Massie (1817-1877) was born on March 23, 1817.There is a massive Massie collection at the University of Texas here.]

My dear Sally

I have sent you by old George the piece of cloth you requested. [I]t is not yet entirely white and therefore does not look so well. When Mr. Massie was over last I expected to have been with you about the second week in August but since then, Mr. Johnston has determined on going over the Mountain  where he will stay a fortnight, and as he will take with him the Carriage Horses, it will be out of my power to make my visit to you until his return, which will be the end of August or the beginning of September.  [A]bout that time you will see us without fail, Papa talks confidently of going over with us, and I shall not let him give it out if I can possibly prevent it.

We have all been extremely alarmed about poor brother George, who has been ill nearly three weeks, he is now getting much better, and we are in great hopes of his recovery. [I]t was a violent attack of the bilious fever with which he had been threatened for some time. 

Frances left us this morning on her way to New London, it is her first visit since her confinement. I never saw her look better if possible she is fatter than before, and her little boy is a remarkably fine one, he is called William Maurice.

We shall expect you certainly to return with us when we go over, and must not be disappointed. [T[he old man is waiting for the letter so that I cannot write a longer one present me affectionately to Mr. Massie and his dear little Tom for me your truly sincere and affectionate sister

Dear Sally

You see how hard run I am for paper by the piece which I write on. I intended last night writing you all the news but John was so unwell I could not he has the Chicken pox and a very bad cough which I fear is the [w]hooping cough.

Uncle George is too old to be trusted with anything to sell he has sold five turkeys at a dollar a piece that is the highest price that can be gotten two died on the road they sold last week at three and nine.

I am very sorry I cannot write you a good long letter as soon as John gets a little better I while write you. I have felt mortified at not writing before.

Make my respect to the old Lady and the Doctor's wife, and believe me to be your sincere Sister F. Langhorne

[Frances "Fanny" Callaway Steptoe Langhorne (1798-1832) married Henry Scarsbrook Langhorne (1790-1854) on March 13, 1816.

In any case, correspondents usually make a point of referring to him as "old." 

The old Lady and the Doctor's wife = probably Sarah Cocke Massie (1760-1838), Sally's mother-in-law; and Lucy Waller Massie (1791-1822), wife of Dr. Thomas Massie II (1782-1864).

My dear Sally                         Sandusky  February 11^th 1818

I cannot think of letting the old man return without writing to you a few lines, altho I have nothing to say that will interest or amuse you. We are all jogging on pretty much in the old way. The girls frolicking about in town and country, and myself quietly seated by the fireside for I have scarcely moved from it since this cold weather set in.

Frances has just gone from here and Tom with her who is to stay until Mr. Langhorne’s return from Bedford where he will be for several days. [A]s soon as he gets back she will in all probability make you a visit, as she is very anxious to do so, she talked of going over to day, but as she has nothing more than a Gig, we prevailed on her to wait until the weather moderates a little. [S]he could have had our Carriage, but for Mr. Johnston’s being obliged to set off on Friday with Eliza to Richmond. I am not sure Frances will consent to stay about a fortnight with you, but I may come over to Pharsalia and bring her home, as by that time Mr. Johnston will have returned with the Carriage.

I was uneasy, after receiving Mr. Massie’s Letter respecting your situation. I saw brother William consulted him, and requested him to visit you, he said he would certainly do so if he considered you in any danger, but his opinion was, that you would perhaps be better, than you had been for some time, you must take good care of yourself, and if the weather should be fine about the time I come over I think you might safely venture to return with us. Frances, you and myself, with the two little boys can come in the Carriage and your Nurse on horseback, I shall leave all my children at home with their Sister Lucy.

You have learned no doubt that Lucy Penn has a daughter. Tis the most beautiful infant I ever beheld, I will not even except my James, who was always my standard of infant beauty. I never saw a little creature so nicely formed and proportioned, and with such exquisite features in my life.

I have sent you Sillimans Journal which will keep you amused awhile but you should not read much yourself it will injure your eyes exceedingly as this time, Mr. Massie will have no out door employment [in] this cold weather, so that he will have leisure to read to you.

We have a new novel here, by Miss Edgeworth which I would send you by Frances, but her company I suppose you would prefer to novel reading – present me affectionately to Mr. Massie and kiss dear little Tom for me and believe me your unalterable friend and sister Eliza P. Johnston.

Dear Sally,

I hope you have not accused me for lack of affection when your letters to me have so often been unanswered, but to my dislike to writing.

Papa says you sent him word you were coming up next month to shew him that the March winds cannot blow you away, but he thinks you had best wait until the swallows come.

I understand Mr. Massie was at Mr. Johnston’s the other day tell him I think he might have come up to see us. I suppose he told you poor Brother Rich’d was Dead, after a lingering illness of six or seven weeks, for a week before he died he was entirely out of his senses sometimes he appeared to have lucid intervils [intervals] he told Mr. Penn the Evening before he died that we must all die and would frequently say his time had come.

I am sorry Miss Peggy cannot go down to stay with you, we have moved home about a fortnight ago, I cannot call it home either as Mr. Penn has sold it, come up as soon as you can. Papa is very lonesome since I have moved away. I would write you a good deal more but Uncle George waits at the door for my letter kiss little Tom for me my love to Mr. Massie and believe me your Affectionate Sister

[Samuel Pope Mitchell at Amherst County, Virginia, to Thomas P. Mitchell at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, January 11, 1818]

Dear Brother, on my return from my Fathers, from spending an agreeable vacation and leaving the family and neighbors generally well, I received your letter dated 23 Nov 1817 on 30 December which was a gratification that may better be conceived than described: especially those who have a brother, a friend whom they even will have reason to respect. When I reflect what great opportunities for improvement you enjoy and how well you are pleased (for otherwise you could not have been) it causes a fraternal spark of gratification to glow within, sooth[e]s all my anctious [anxious] cares.  

I am well and have enjoyed reasonable health since I saw you and I happily presume that you have, by your not mentioning it, though you did to your Father which I saw.  I have taken another school at the same place sessionally to commence the first Jan, and expire 15 June and commence the first July and expire that Nov. for as long as we please, teaching 10 1/2 months in the year at $10 per scholar per session. 

I had a meeting of the imployers [sic] before the examination and asked them $600 they offered $500.I refused, say you right or wrong? so we were off for a while and shortly after one of them came to me in Lynchburg and requested that I should not leave them. I told him I would make them one more proposition & suffer me to take 30 scholars if I could get them and give me $10 per sch. per session and I would stay he said it would do; so I presented them with a paper with that amount with the examination and they readily subscribed so I have 22 and the promise of several others and before the session is out I expect to have my compliment. They always objected to more than 25 before which is enough; but money is the prime object of every teacher.

My last examination was much more flattering than the other. I had Uncle James Mitchell and a Mr. MccConeval a teacher from Nelson to judge of our performances who pronounced great praise, besides these litterati [literati], there were a great many from the neighborhood. I believe I have now come through with all that relates to myself only that I am not yet in that holy state of matrimony but am on a pause for there is a young Miss Elvira Harris, daughter of Ned Harris in Nelson in this neighborhood, that is so rich and handsome that I am at a great loss what is best -- for to wait for a more convenient season of leaf[?] I might not meet with her or even her equals however nothing on that subject has even been mentioned and I feel at a loss on this subject as well as on many others for the want of your good counsel.

Majr Preston was married on Saturday-night of Christmas to a Miss Williamson and aged about 40 contrary to the wish of his family. Miss Sally P. Burks M[letter torn here] sestor [sister?] and Garland Rucker of Bedford were married on Thursday 8th ins. I was one of the waiters and cut a few rusties you may depend.

I understood when I was at home that Miss Sareta[?] Weaks was with child by Archibald Franklin.  Julia Claytor brought forth two fine sons about the last [of] November one lived near a weak [week] and died the other is living yet.

Sally Lewis is just ready to bring forth at Tho.s R. C. Claytor's & Thos R. C. has been laid up with a soar [sore] leg. John Claytor is at the mill yet and no chance of marrying. Robert M. Claytor and Julia are going to live at the mill.

Lynchburg May 24th 1818

Dear Doctor,

This epistle will be borne by Mr. William J. Morris, a merchant of this place who may perhaps remain a few days in our village. If he does, do me the favor to shew him some little civility. You will find him rather weak in the upper story, but genteel, and very well meaning, and more worthy than you can often find. It would make his time pass off much less heavily if you were to shew him to some of our acquaintances; and I know in this instance any little service of that sort would not be bestowed on an unworthy or an ungrateful character.

Mr. Gilmer, whom I saw a few days ago, desired me to inform you that the business you had commissioned him to execute would be arranged at the June court (I do not know what time of the month).

Mr. Morris will give you a flask and your skeet & trap, and a supply of  Pegon[?] & Andrews will be sent out before long, in the box which will contain my father's tobacco.

If the present sickness of this place increases with the advance of summer, I shall very probably fly from the dangers that threaten here, and either take refuge in your cabin, which will be finished I hope in time to afford me shelter. There I think your physick, and a little hunting and venison occasionally, will make me entirely proof against the attacks of Disease. And then we will talk over that plan which you sugge[ested] not long since. As it is uncertain tho' . . . that I shall come out, it would be well to say nothing of the probability of my doing so to any body. I would rather take people by surprise.

Give me affectionate regards to sister Louisa and believe me 
yours Truely
