This Norfolk, the capital of Virginia, is a most strange place […] The first object I saw on entering Colonel Hamilton’s drawing-room was a harpsichord, which looked like civilisation, and delighted me extremely; and in the evening we had a Miss Mathews, who played and sung very tolerably indeed; but music here is like whistling to a wilderness. She played some of dear Kate’s[*] lessons, which brought the tears into my eyes with recollection. [*Moore’s sister] |
