Description

Isabella Bolingbroke wrote from London, England to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Isabella informed Susan that she was out of all danger and that the long-dreaded moment was over. She became ill suddenly a few days ago and within a matter of half an hour she gave birth to a dead child. The little boy was so small that the physicians suspected he passed away several weeks beforehand. Discussed the Ricketts Family and how they lived happily at Mr. Jackson’s. Suggested Susan come visit and then they could all go to France or Poland once there was peace. Discussed mutual friends and correspondents.

People mentioned: the Ricketts Family and John Jackson.
