Summary
Report on the Livingston family. Birth of a daughter who seems designed for the Jays' son. "I only hope that she may live to cement our families in a still closer union." Sarah's cousin, William Alexander Livingston, was killed by a Mr. Steaks in a duel. Dueling has grown to be a very fashionable industry- with five in one week. Henry must beware of dueling with the Spanish dons.
