Abstract:
Attended on a rich woman during her recent childbirth, which frustrated "The old Doctor in the neighbourhood." Has been "gaining the good graces of the better portion of our female community-- an acquisition so essential to the success and prosperity of a medical practitioner." Will be travelling to witness a will and attend to a sick friend. Notes the growth of the "Native American Party" in New York City. "Both parties Whig & Democrat here meet on common ground, and bind themselves to promote the best interests of our free institutions, excluding all foreigners from any holding of offices." Went to the museum to see "a litteral and living 'Tom Thumb' ... he is a perfect Lilliputian." Mentions his status as a bachelor but is seeking a partner. See also G[eorge] C[rosby] Finch ALS to [Hiram Bennett], June 1, 1840.
