Description
George Van Brugh Brown wrote from Haddington, East Lothian (Scotland) to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Hoped that Susan was happy by the presence of Julian Niemcewicz. With regard to themselves, their daughter Elizabeth had been complaining very much in the greatest part of the spring. The surgeon thought worms were the cause, but that did not appear to have been the disorder and since then she had gotten better. With care and attention, Brown hoped she would soon get perfectly strong he took her out on horseback every day. Their son John, or rather as he called himself “the Major,” was well but also ailing. Would have liked to have seen their friend the ambassador when in England but they could not get a leave of absence. Discussed mutual family and friends.
