Files

Description

Maria E.P. Ricketts wrote from Hammersmith, England to Susan Niemcewitz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Maria’s mother, Sarah, and her brother, James, had already written to Susan and she feared her letter would only be a repetition of what they had said. However, Maria wanted to obey her aunt’s wishes and tell her how she liked her and her family’s situation. They were staying at a very beautiful house with two very good-sized rooms painted and furnished with pretty taste. The furniture was handsome, and the windows opened from floor to ceiling. Maria was delighted with all she had seen of England thus far and planned to dine in Richmond with Mr. and Mrs. Penn the following day and in London with General Reid on Monday. Asked Susan to remember her affectionately to Peter when she wrote to him.

People mentioned: Sarah Ricketts, James Ricketts, Mr. and Mrs. Penn, General Reid, and Peter Kean.
