Summary
Autograph Letter signed. The Symmeses have been delayed at the crossing of the Juniata because of the many vehicles to be ferried over. The roads are very bad because they had been cut up by army vehicles during the rainy season. The Symmeses saw Alexander Hamilton at breakfast at the Inn. "He looked a little weather-beaten as well as ourselves." There are still 114 Miles to go before arriving in Pittsburgh, where the Symmeses will spend the winter.
