Abstract
Expresses esteem and affection. Sally (Sarah Livingston Jay) is in Madrid. They hope to be able to come back to America soon. He often thinks of their pleasant times together in Philadelphia but does not wish to put her (Catherine Livingston) into their circumstances. Is not that selfish that he would wish for her company when her happiness might requ ire a more intimate connection. Wishes to hear about the family. How is their son Peter Jay? Asks for details, especially about herself. Had expected a wedding letter from Judith Livingston; give her his congratulations. William Livingston is probably still musical? How is Susan? Asks for description of their retreat from Elizabeth. Has heard nothing from Fishkill.
