Files

Description

George Van Brugh Brown wrote from Greenan, Scotland to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. George had not heard from Susan in a considerably long time. He was familiar with her dislike of writing and did not want to pass along an opportunity to enquire about her and Peter. George’s children were all well and in good health. His last letter was dated March 10th, which he supposed would reach Susan about this time. At the time, George was heading to Edinburgh but only stayed for a week and ever since then, he was constantly at home. Mrs. B has been confined with a fever but was recovering. It was brought on by influenza. They were still in the dark upon the question of peace or war.
