John Robertson to Julian Niemcewicz, January 16, 1805

Robertson acknowledged Julian’s favor of the 3rd instant and noticed the postscript dated the 11th inclosing Susan Niemcewicz’s power of attorney to collect the rent of her house on Walnut Street in Philadelphia, as well as ground rent from Robert Morris. Robertson saw Horace Binney who wanted many repairs done to the house including papering, painting, and a few additional repairs. An estimate for a new sink had to wait on account of the snow.
