Julian U. Niemcewicz
1805-03-16

Joseph Pitcairn wrote from Hamburg, Germany to Julian Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Some time ago, Julian had forwarded a small box to the care of Pitcairn. By some neglect, the box was not delivered to Mr. Beare although Pitcairn had transmitted it to him in London by a Mr. Foy, a gentleman of character, who promised to take care of the conveyance of the box and to place it into the hands of Samuel Williams. Pitcairn discovered that Julian’s letter dated the 18^th of April 1804 was not acknowledged. Informed Julian that whatever he owed him in payment the monetary value was the same in America and Hamburg. The Prince did not get his books from Johnson. Pitcairn wrote to his friends to enquire with them about the books. Johnson lost the memorandum and did not know what they were. Pitcairn informed the prince and hoped for a new list of which better care would be taken. Discussed relations with Russia and reconstructing Poland. Provided the amount of Julian’s debt in the postscript.

1805-05-19

Julian Niemcewicz wrote from Elizabethtown, New Jersey to an unknown correspondent (likely John A. Morton). Julian apologized for all of the trouble and inconvenience that his correspondent endured on his part. Julian was surprised that he had not heard from his friends in Poland and immediately wrote to them to not change any more of their letters but to enclose them to Messrs. Mallet. Since Julian’s return he had not been further than New York. All of his excursions were to his garden tending to his cabbage, peas, corn, flax, etc. Believed it was the age of the gun boats, several of theirs sailed for the Mediterranean and were considered the cheapest way of destruction. Salt was discovered in Louisiana and Quick Silver in New Hampshire, which would prove a great source of riches and trade with South America.
