Peter Kean to Susan Niemcewicz, June 2, 1805

Files

Description

Peter Kean wrote from Princeton, New Jersey to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Peter thought it would give his mother great pleasure when he informed her that the ringworm on his neck was almost gone in consequence of a wash that he obtained from Doctor Vancleve. It was similar to the wash Julian Niemcewicz got for Mr. William Dayton. By washing with it constantly for a week along with castile soap, the ringworm was clearing up. Peter was confident that his complaint was nearly of the same nature as his mother’s and encouraged Susan to make use of the wash to put a check on its progress and partially cure it. The weather in Princeton was rainy and nature seemed to be hiding her head and threatening them with a second March.

People mentioned: Julian Niemcewicz, Doctor Vancleve, William Dayton, and Mrs. Kollock.
