Description

Peter Kean wrote to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Peter received Susan’s letter and she wished he would spend some time in the winter in Elizabethtown and complained he was not sufficiently prolix in his letters. Planned to visit Susan the following week and would narrate facts to her. As to the report about Violet’s expecting to go with her mother or the mother’s getting a place, neither could be don’t without Susan’s consent and any person taking her would be liable to her wages. Peter saw Lady Kitty the day before and she inquired after Susan. Peter saw Kitty and Mrs. R every day and planned to go with them to see the celebrated Mrs. Darby from Boston. The winter gaiety was to begin on Thursday with an assembly. Cook’s benefit was to be Wednesday and he was to play Cato and Sir Arby. If Susan saw William Dayton, Peter asked Susan to request him to make a bargain with Blanchard and get him to take his horse. Peter added a post script where he suggested Susan go visit Peggy since the roads were likely good and that Henry ought to drive her in the carriage.
