This collecton consists of a single two-page letter written by Lucy Randolph, of "New Market, near Millwood, Frederick County," Virginia. Randolph mentions that she is sending a Bible to Patsy, in hopes that Patsy will "meet with some kind friend who will read its blessed pages" to her. Randolph continues at length to urge Patsy to lead a virtuous life and to pray for help in being a "good faithful servant" to her "earthly master." Randolph concludes with some general personal news, noting that "Archie is playing out before the door with John Knox" and "Bet is at Chapel Hill." Randolph asks that Patsy have somebody write a return letter on her behalf and address it to her at the home of Dr. Robert C. Randolph. A note appended to the bottom of the letter states that Patsy was gone from Winchester before the letter had arrived there and that the family never heard from her.
