Description

James Ricketts and Sarah Julia Ricketts wrote from London, England to Julian Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. James had been writing so much that he was starting to detest the sight of pen and ink. However, he could not let the opportunity pass to inform Julian that they were all well and to enclose an account of the most brilliant victory that ever graced the Arms of Britain. Mrs. R. was quite mortified that she had not heard from Susan since her arrival. Maria went to Richmond with Mr. Penn. They were to go to the Ball at Hampton Court. Their dear little Sally was their only child with them. Asked that Julian send the enclosed account to B. as soon as he’s read it. Sarah (Sally) Julia Ricketts penned a few lines in the post script; She went to London to look for something strictly for Julian but could not find anything she thought he would like. Asked Julian to tell Aunt Susan that she wished she was there to go with them to the Lord Major’s.
