Description

John A. Morton wrote from Paris, France to Julian Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. John enclosed a bill of exchange and informed Julian that he received a letter under a blank cover and another from Julian addressed to John’s care that was in the post office. The Post Office would not deliver the letter addressed to John’s care but after some trouble, they suspended the law and delivered it. John supposed they would not do that again and in the future Julian was to put his letters undercover to someone at Paris without changing them or he would have to send a formal Power of Attorney. The Attorney himself would have to give a formal receipt for each letter. John did not know what Julian’s letters contained, but if they were common correspondence they would be safe without all the ceremony of changing and accumulation of responsibility. Discussed a banker in Warsaw that could assist Julian with his banking transactions. Mr. L was in Paris but John did not know if he planned on visiting Julian’s side of the water. Note that the bottom of this manuscript is torn.
