Christine acknowledged the note on top of the letter that reads; received August 26, 1806, of Mr. Thomas Biddle a package said to contain sundry deeds from Mrs. Armstrong of Elizabethtown. Signed Jacob G. Wilks. Christine asked Susan to ask Eve to look in the room she stayed in the last time she was at Susan’s house to ascertain whether she left her lilac silk shawl behind. Christine feared it was stolen similar to other articles in her house. Mr. B was taking measures to discover the thief. Besides the twelve dollars Christine spoke of, fifteen dollars that belonged to her sister, Lydia, had been carried away in a most alarming manner. Lydia laid her bag down in which the money was in for a few moments in the parlor, when she returned the money was gone. Christine informed Susan that she was fortunate that her servants were at least honest.

Christine Biddle to Susan Niemcewicz, April 8, 1805
No full textChristine Biddle wrote to Susan Niemcewicz at No. 19 Bond Street, New York. When Christine received Susan’s kind and affectionate letter she was confined to her bed as a result of a severe indisposition. It was, therefore, a few days before she could go and see Mrs. Palmer and give Susan an opinion of her own about her. Mrs. Palmer was evidently free from disease and required only care to set her up again. Fanny suffered from chills and a fever. Mr. Ricketts’s household had been particularly afflicted. His determination to sail for England on the 20th appeared to Christine to be the very best method he could take to restore his health. Mrs. R[icketts] was distressed by the idea of parting with him but appeared to accept the separation. Christine’s cousin, Miss Bradford, went to New York without telling her, otherwise, Christine would have asked for an account of Susan. Mr. Biddle regretted not having time to visit Susan while he was in New York but in his line of work, he was not his own master. Christine was doing well except the last of her indisposition remained in the shape of a cough.
People mentioned: Mrs. Palmer, Fanny, Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts, Mrs. Lawrence, Miss Bradford, and Mr. Biddle.

Christine Biddle to Susan Niemcewicz, March 24, 1806
No full textChristine Biddle wrote from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Christine was very disappointed when she read Susan’s letter and discovered she would not favor her with a visit. Asked that Susan consider visiting anyway with Peter since such a jaunt would be agreeable to him. Christine sent for Elizabeth Humphreys and told her that Mrs. B wished her to go to Elizabethtown as soon as possible. However, Christine just discovered that Mrs. Fox anticipated being confined in about three weeks and would be distressed if Elizabeth were to leave her before it was over. Elizabeth asked if it was possible to stay with Mrs. Fox till the period she mentioned since it would be unkind to leave her. However, if Mrs. B desired it, Elizabeth would leave Mrs. Fox. Thanked Susan for the offer of making purchases for her at Mrs. B’s sale. The only piece of furniture that Christine coveted was Mrs. B’s piano, which she had no intention of taking. Mr. B [Thomas Biddle] claimed the finest pianos could be had in London at second hand for half the first cost. Christine’s piano was tuned and put to rights so she was content with it. Mr. B had a few trifles to communicate with Susan on business but wanted to wait to tell them to her in person. Asked Susan to confirm with Mrs. B that Elizabeth’s expenses to Elizabethtown would be paid for.
