  Isabelle Bell to Susan U. Niemcewicz, November 16, 1802

  Isabelle Bell

  1802-11-16
  

  Isabelle Bell wrote from Albany, New York to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Since receiving Susan’s letter of a very old date, Bell had sat down half a dozen times to respond to her but was prevented by some untoward circumstances. When she heard Julian Niemcewicz had gone to Europe, she hoped Susan would leave her favorite Elizabethtown and oblige her northern friends with a visit. Bell spent time at Cayuga Lake to visit with her sister Richardson who moved from Harrisburg to the country a year ago. She had left her young family in February and traveled 190 miles in a sleigh to see Bell. Susan and Matilda Ridley and five more of her former scholars were to visit Bell the following week and several had already asked her to take several of their daughters and nieces. There were two dancing masters and a music master already engaged to attend her young ladies. A drawing master of first-rate talents was still needed and asked Susan to inquire about one in Elizabethtown. Wished Susan would take a flight to Albany and spend time with her. Asked of Susan’s health, if Peter was in love with Kitty LeRoy, and how Mrs. R and Maria were. In the postscript, Bell asked Susan to remember her kindly to all their friends in Elizabethtown, particularly Mrs. William Dayton. Margaret Baxter wished to have spent some months of last winter in New York and would have liked to have been received as a boarder with Mrs. Hobert. Mrs. G. Livingston told them to consent to take her, but the season was too far advanced before they heard of it. This winter, Margaret did not express anything on the subject, perhaps in fear of another disappointment. Bell would have liked to know if she were inclined to go and if Mrs. H would make it convenient to have her at her house. Bell heard if the postscript was longer than the letter, it meant the writer was in love. Lest she unluckily find herself in that pitiable state and without redress, she ended the postscript.

  People mentioned: Isabelle Bell’s sister Richardson, Julian Niemcewicz, Susan and Matilda Ridley, General North, Miss Duanes, Mrs. John Livingston, Mr. Imbert, Peter Kean, Mrs. Ricketts, Maria Ricketts, Mrs. William Dayton, Mrs. Hobert, Mrs. G. Livingston, and Margaret Baxter.

The last time Brown wrote Susan, he expected to be quartered at Aberdeen but the destination of the troops was changed and they were stationed 12 miles from Fort George where they remained for 14 months. Sorry to hear of the continued bad state of his uncle’s health. He had no words to express his sorrow upon hearing of poor Eliza Otto’s death. Although it happened in August, Brown had only just heard of it. Asked of his cousin Maria Ricketts and gave his kindest regards to Peter Kean and Julian Niemcewicz.

  Henry Gahn wrote from New York, New York to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Gahn informed Susan that Captain Brown had on board a box addressed to her that contained Wedgwood Ware. As he did not send him an invoice, the box would first go to the Public Store and be valued before Gahn could make an entry at the Custom House. In a few days, he would follow Susan’s directions and forward it to Elizabethtown.

  Henry Gahn wrote from New York, New York to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Susan’s letter addressed to Captain Paul was only handed to him yesterday on account of Gahn changing his lodgings from N^o 13 Broad Street to N^o 35 Wall Street. The entry was made at the Custom House, but due to an omission of the invoice for the Wedgwood Ware, it was impossible to dispense with the formality of having the box opened and examined at the Public Store. It was at that point in the charge of the storekeeper who promised to take the greatest care of it until the appraisal was completed. Laws rendered this inconvenience and delay altogether unavoidable. Asked if Susan knew of the particular quantity of articles contained in the box. Received a letter from Julian Niemcewicz dated August 25 from Hamburg.

  People mentioned: Julian Niemcewicz

  Henry Gahn wrote from New York, New York to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Received a few lines from Mr. [Julian] Niemcewicz dated London August 10^th. Julian had only a few moments to hand the letter to Mr. Murray. However, Murray did not forward the letter to Gahn until October [1802], even though Gahn had called on him and left a card at his house the day he returned to New York. Presumed that Murray did not want to continue their former acquaintance. Forwarded Julian’s letter addressed to Gahn, even though it was in French, so Susan could at least see her husband’s handwriting.

  People mentioned: Mr. Murray, Julian U. Niemcewicz, Mr. Otto, and Peter Kean.

  John Grimke wrote from Charleston, South Carolina to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Grimke informed Susan that he received a duplicate of her letter from October 30^th. The Secretary of the Catawba Company, Mr. Tew, acted in conformity to the Directors of the Proprietors because it became necessary to know who meant to remain members of the Catawba Company and to collect annual sums. Had no doubt that the Directors would agree to extend the deadline. If not, Grimke would endeavor to advance the sum that appeared to be her balance.
