Gustavus Risberg to Susan Kean, September 9, 1799

Files

Description

Gustavus Risberg wrote from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Susan Kean in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Risberg acknowledged Susan’s letter where she enclosed three bank notes that amounted to $200 and informed her that he would take care of the last installment of the new loan. The melancholy situation in Philadelphia caused a decline in real estate. If Susan were to sell her house, Risberg suggested she demand £3000 because the price could be lowered afterward.
