Description

Peter Kean wrote from Albany, New York to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Peter’s last letter by some unaccountable oversight in the young gentleman whose turn it was to take the letter to the post office was left on the mantel piece in his office, which would account for Susan not having received it in due time. Peter neglected to share anything about his address and proceeded to provide a sketch of its principal parts. Mentioned that he had a conversation with Mr. Beazly who requested that Susan visit Albany. Peter also discussed investments of property in Albany and mutual friends and correspondents. Mrs. Bell had not written to any of her friends as she was dealing with misfortunes. Mr. Richardson, her brother in law, put an end to his existence shortly after her arrival at Palmyra.
