Description

Julian Niemcewicz wrote from New York, New York to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Julian never told Tom that he was bringing potatoes with him to New York. Mr. Dayton had some and expected more and Tom was to fetch them from him. Sent by Tom four bushels of potatoes that Susan liked and Tom was to plant them as soon as possible. Julian stayed at Susan’s brother’s house. Many Carolinians were in New York. Julian wanted to be introduced to Mrs. Izard. She came to settle in the city as she sold their plantation and negroes in Carolina. The repairs for Peter’s gun totaled $10. Peter’s brother and Mrs. Livingston were in good spirits. John Church told Julian in secrecy that he planned to get permission to go to the Spanish Main in about two months.
