Description

Isabelle Bell wrote from Albany, New York to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Isabelle rejoiced at the return of Julian Niemcewicz. Isabelle's music master, or rather the one who taught all the city, took umbrage at S. Duane who had employed him for two years. S. Duane along with her sisters derived him considerable employment. He appeared dissatisfied with everything and everyone in Albany, although it was said he made between eight and twelve hundred dollars a year. Isabelle’s dancing master, who was recommended by Miss Fairlee, was foolish to take a leave while he had twenty-eight students in her house and a considerable school of young men at the public house. He was in debt and yielded to the terrors of a jail with which he was threatened and sailed for New York. Expected to suffer temporarily by the want of masters. Discusses mutual acquaintances and friends.

People mentioned: Julian Niemcewicz, S. Duane, Miss Fairlee, Mrs. Banyers, Mrs. Armstrong, Mrs. William Dayton, and Mrs. Ricketts.
