Description

Susan Niemcewicz wrote from Bond Street, New York, New York to Thomas Dayton in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. William Baker said he would be so kind as to save Susan the painful task of putting pen to paper and write to enquire of Thomas whether it would be best for her to dispose of 2 loads of hay at Ursino or Elizabeth Town. Several complaints were made to Susan of a bad fellow Js. Jewels living in old Phils House. The neighbors spoke of pulling the house down. Wished Thomas would dislodge him and warn him to never again put his feet on the ground of Ursino, it already had a reputation of being haunted by him and Susan wished he would quit the country. Asked is Mr. Chetwood arranged that Susan had a clear title to old Phils House. Mr. William Halstead’s conduct appeared extraordinary. Susan had yet to hear from him and wanted all the income that was due her. Asked if Thomas would direct Mr. Parcells to have the lawn fence mended. Susan heard that the gorud had been robbed of many precious plants and roots. Longed to meet her friends in Jersey and wished Silas and Peggy would air the house.
