Files

Description

Philip Livingston wrote from New York, New York to Susan Kean in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Livingston informed Susan that if he received the Chancellor’s Order, he had some hope that he would get to touch the money that was owed by John Brown. He asked Susan to respond to his last letter and let him know where she wished to invest her portion. If she needed money, Livingston reiterated that Susan should not hesitate to ask him for it. Mr. and Mrs. R were staying with Livingston and his wife. He wished Susan would stay with them as well. Was unable to procure information respecting the lot that belonged to Peter in Philadelphia nor the shares in Mr. Morris’s and Company. Expected John Laurence, their Senator, to arrive any day. Livingston added a note dated January 9^th where he informed Susan that Greenleaf’s money was not yet paid and he thought John Brown’s agent was shuffling to gain time. As soon as he received the Chancellor’s Order, he would compel him to either pay him or get the Master to give him the deed for the land.

Names mentioned: John Brown, Robert Morris (1734 – 1806), John Laurence (1750 – 1810), James Greenleaf (1765 - 1843)
