Abstract
She is pleased to hear of the returning health of her Cousin Susan [Vergereau Boudinot Bradford]; Mr. Washington has told them that her appearance is much improved; she regrets the distance between herself and her aunt, whom she regards as a parent; Gen. Washington came to town in triumph Monday last; all orders of citizens are vying with each other in addresses and entertainments; the merchants are to give him a dinner and ball Friday; she has received a letter and a bundle of fringe from Mrs. [Elizabeth?] Ferguson, which she would have forwarded by Gen. Kosiasco had she known that he was to go by the stage.
