Description

John Faucheraud Grimké wrote from Charleston, South Carolina to Peter Kean in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Peter’s favor of the 12th of April met John on his return to town from the Circuit. Sorry to hear that Peter’s amiable mother (Susan Niemcewicz) had not received any returns of literacy communication from her friends in Charleston that she expected. Discussed the Catawba Company installments and the Santee Canal dividends. Mentioned that installments would have been made had they not purchased 60 negroes on account of the Company last year. Mr. Barnwell made no payments nor did he expect any from him. Grimké’s second son, Frederick Grimké, was at Yale College in Connecticut and would likely visit Peter and his mother. Whenever Peter completed his education and was inclined to visit his native country, he would do Grimké justice to consider him as one of the sincere friends who would welcome him with heartfelt pleasure.

People mentioned: Susan Niemcewicz and Frederick Grimké (1791-1863).
