Description

Christine Biddle wrote from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Christine was happy to hear that Mr. Niemcewicz’s health was reestablished. Mr. Law told her that he had heard so from himself a few days after Christine received Susan’s letter. Mr. Law dined with them and communicated some of his poetical effusions in manuscript, which Christine found very pretty. Saw from a distance Mrs. Carmack walking with her husband. Christine’s mother desired her to write to Elizabethtown on the 20th, therefore Susan would likely see her shortly. Planned to write Miss Robert and give her information about the different boarding schools.

People mentioned: Thomas Law (1756–1834), Mrs. Carmack, and Miss Robert.
