University of Virginia Library

April 19-25

A rainy Sunday so no church. Wrote to James Lewis. Finish reading a memoir of The Rev. Sydney Smith by his daughter, Lady Holland, in 2 vols. It is very entertaining. The Michies call ....A letter from Miss V. We think of going to that neighborhood next week to see Aunt Ria and Miss Betsy Catlett who is at Music Hall. Hear some sad accounts of the servants who were sent to Africa. Some ten or fifteen of their number are already dead. Mary Lewis at home, poorly.
