Description

Julian Niemcewicz wrote from Elizabethtown, New Jersey to an unknown correspondent (likely John A. Morton). Julian apologized for all of the trouble and inconvenience that his correspondent endured on his part. Julian was surprised that he had not heard from his friends in Poland and immediately wrote to them to not change any more of their letters but to enclose them to Messrs. Mallet. Since Julian’s return he had not been further than New York. All of his excursions were to his garden tending to his cabbage, peas, corn, flax, etc. Believed it was the age of the gun boats, several of theirs sailed for the Mediterranean and were considered the cheapest way of destruction. Salt was discovered in Louisiana and Quick Silver in New Hampshire, which would prove a great source of riches and trade with South America.
