| Transcript | Extract of a letter (by ship to Newry) from Philadelphia, dated Feb 10. 1785 "No news of consequence stirring here. I enclose the latest prints - General Washing[ton?] and his lady arrived here last night; I have not learned how long they mean to stay - but shall have a towing, scraping, feasting, bell ringing time of it; for this incomparable man reigns in the hearts of the people - and most justly so." |
