Scope and Contents
Albert Gallatin and family are arrived in New York. Unhealthy conditions in New York City have caused Maria to remain at Greenwich: "at present there is still apprehension of Cholera — more deaths of that disease occurring last week than the preceding, owing probably to the return of our citizens generally, greatly increased population, and eating forbidden fruit & vegetables, and absence of proper precaution in ventulating their Houses — but still tending to shew that the air is infected with pestilence . . . ." Mentions illness of James Nicholson (son of James Witter Nicholson), and of James Chrystie, Jr.
