Summary
The Jays were very sorry to part with the Morris's two boys. Is glad Mr. Ridley placed them with a gentleman "too sensible of the value of freedom to join the Aristocratic party in trampling on the liberty of that unfortunate Republic." The return of peace will soon allow her to embrace Mrs. Morris and her other friends. Is certain Kitty will feel regret in leaving the Morris family soon although an affectionate mother and sister wait for her at home. Remembrances to friends.
