| Content Description | Graham sends his condolences on the death of Stephen van Cortlandt. He also discusses Livingston's suspension from being Collector of the Excise, which he considers to be "a paradox" when viewed with the same eye as reading of Bellomont's "Esteem" for Livingston. Graham also discusses the proposed match between John Livingston and Mary Winthrop, "I am apt to believe that the mariadge is as good as any N England mariadge." Finally, he wishes much success and joy to Samuel Vetch and his new wife Margaret (Livingston's daughter). Docketed on address leaf. |
