Letter signed Leroy, Wheatland, [Clarke County, Virginia?], to his cousin William S.[?] Fant, Femme Osage, St. Charles County, Missouri. “. . . . You have been a fortunate fellow to get a better half with so little trouble. Not many so lucky. . . . The fates I think have ordered that I shall ever live alone. . . . I am determined never to marry, unless it be altogether to my taste. These mercenary marriages can never I am sure prove to be happy ones. I am at this time very pleasantly located at Mrs. Masons Clark County teaching school. . . .” Discusses friends and family., 1848 Jan 21
