Files

Description

Peter Kean wrote from Petersburgh, Virginia to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Peter tore himself away from Richmond much sooner than he would have liked but was looking forward to returning to the arms of his true parent and to the society of his Sally. The manners of the inhabitants of Richmond whom Peter became acquainted with were friendly. He was indebted to the Gibsons, Mr. J. Taylor and his lady, and Mr. B. Harrison. Major Gibson went looking for Peter as soon as he arrived in Richmond and invited him to his house. Judge Griffin and Colonel Carrington inquired after Susan.

People mentioned: Sarah Louisa Jay (1792-1818), John Gibson (1740 – 1822), Cyrus Griffin (1748–1810), and Edward Carrington (1748 – 1810).
