Sam[ue]l L. Mitchill ALS to [Catharine] Mitchill, November 23, 1803
Correspondence, 1801-1829 [Box 1, Folder 26]
16 Washington Nov 23rd, 1803 My dear Wife Judge Phelps, one of the Members of Congress from Ontario County in the State of Newyork is about to visit our City on business. He has politely undertaken to convey to you the little parcel which accompanies this letter. And he has promised to call upon you and to tell you how your husband looks. I send you the dictionary which I promised, a paper- -knife and a Seal, not only as tokens of my love but as rewards for your proficiency in good writing. Mr. Phelps will be able to inform you of the chit-chat of this place; but he cannot inform you so ardently I can assure you myself; how nearly and firmly I am bound to you by the ties of affection. Sam L Mitchill To Mrs. Mitchill P.S. Read the M.S. in front of the Dictionary.
