Description
Copies of the letters which passed between John Kean and Philip Peter Livingston, his brother-in-law, during the joint transaction between them. the majority of the letters are written from New York or Philadelphia and mentioned other family members such as Susan Kean and Sarah Ricketts. The last several letters are actually between Philip and his sister Susan Kean, John's wife. This was presumably because of John's failing health and death on May 4, 1795. The letters start on December 4, 1794, and end on July 1, 1795.
