Description
Sends by Mr. Willday printed copies of his sermon on the death of Penn's father, Richard; general regret in the city at his departure; asks for a recommendation to his brother [Richard Penn]. "Poor Frank is disappointed of the Comptrollership. He bears it with his usual Fortitude; and takes to his Counter and his Day-Book with as much Composure as ever." Speaks of the marriage of Miss Redman to Dan. Coxe of Trenton, the evening before; and the cheerfulness of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Allen, Harry Hill and Sam. Meredith at the ceremony; Dr. [Richard] Peters still continues incapable of doing duty, but a temporary assistant from New York makes the burden lighter to Duché.
