Description
Peter Kean wrote from West Point, New York to Susan Niemcewicz, unaddressed. Peter left New York two hours after he left Susan with a fine breeze and arrived at West Point around 2 o’clock in the morning. The Col. and Mrs. W. were rejoiced to see Peter and received him with all the warmth of friendship. The morning after Peter arrived, the Col. gave a lecture on fortification. In the mornings, Peter passed the time by walking and reading with Mrs. W. Peter was engaged in translating an eulogium from French of Mr. Thomas. In the evenings after the Col. retired, he read aloud to Mrs. Williams and was greatly instructed by her observations.
