Letter : Richmond, Virginia, to Dr. Scandella, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1798 January 25.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122464711

Latrobe's comments in this letter confirm his dissatisfaction. This was caused partially by differences in regard to compensation due Latrobe for services in the design and construction of a state penitentiary. Latrobe was most impressed by the natural environment of Virginia, but wrote, "Indeed I am here truly unhappy."
