Description
James Ricketts wrote from Mr. Jackson’s in Hammersmith, West London, England to Julian Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Thanked Julian for his kind letters. Discussed visitors and events he and his family were planning on attending. He found the climate in England much more agreeable than the summers in America. His last account of Jamaica was very favorable however they were not as fortunate with their last crop. Mr. Jackson had just returned to Paris from Munich, and he would return to England soon. Wished he could give Julian some favorable news on Poland. They received so many reports that they did not know what to believe. They were all at Vauxhall the night before with a large party. James mentioned a servant named Robert that went with them. Heard that Russia made a separate peace with France, but the particulars were not yet known.
