Sam[ue]l L. Mitchill ALS to [Catharine] Mitchill, February 18, 1802
Correspondence, 1801-1829 [Box 1, Folder 8]
22 Washington Feby. 18th. 1802 My dear Girl Last Evening I recd. your charming letter of the 12th. Your improvement both in Thought & Expression gratifies me highly. I believe I shall consent to your proposed Trip to this Place about the Time you propose. You may tell Margaret so; but tell her too that the Market is overstocked with young Ladies already, at this City. Concerning the House, I requested your Mamma & Uncle to attend to the letting of it, and they promi- -sed me their Aid. I am not satisfied with the present Tenant - But you & they must consult & judge - You must bustle about as Mrs. Law does here. - The inclo- sed News Papers contains some federal squibbing on the Members of Congress - See how I am treat[ed] by them - Yours truly and tenderly Sam L Mitcill. P.S. I shall shortly write to [?] more about the Trip.
