John Kean to Susan Kean, September 19, 1793

Files

Description

John wrote to Susan, addressed to her at Mr. Corvaisiers, near Dunks Ferry. Doctors disagree if the cooling weather will reduce the spread of yellow fever. John sent calomel, bark, and salts. Horseback riding is physically hard for John and he is unable to get a sulky (a light-weight cart with two wheels pulled by a horse). He looked at a house in Frankford, but it's not a good fit. Names included: Terence [Terrence] and Mrs. Robertson.
