Description

Joseph Pitcairn wrote from Hamburg, Germany to Julian Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. The positive accounts of Julian’s good health and arrival gave Joseph sincere pleasure, in addition to the proof of remembrance and regard Julian’s letter contained. Received from Julian 20 parcels of suds that were immediately committed to the ground. The final parcel Julian sent for the Countess Potacka at Warsaw was properly packed up by the driving wagon on the 29thof May. Discussed additional parcels Julian sent to friends and acquaintances. Enquired for the “4 Ages of Man” without success but forwarded Julian’s request in the hopes that they would be able to procure the genuine. Asked that Julian send him suds in Autumn and Spring, particularly bushes, trees, flowers, and melons of the best kinds. A Pennsylvania melon that Julian sent was extraordinary

People mentioned: Countess Zofia Potocka-Witt 1760-1822 and Samuel Williams, Consul.
