Description

Peter Kean wrote from Albany, New York to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Since Peter’s last letter, they had a terrible snow storm. Mrs. Bz. was very well and from appearances will be confined in a few months. Mr. B mentioned Susan coming to Albany and seemed to dwell upon it with pleasure. Sally Jay still occupied Peter’s thoughts although she was only 16. Her character had not yet completely formed but Peter would venture to take her for better or worse. Sally’s face was indication of one of the finest dispositions imagination could fancy. In the postscript, Peter mentioned that he was going to a son of General Schuyler’s who had ruined himself in law business.

People mentioned: Sarah Louisa Jay (1792- 1818), Robert S. and William Jay (1789-1858), General Philip Schuyler (1733-1804).
