Abstract:
Letter celebrating the end of the War of 1812 and a treaty of peace, possibly written by a woman. Notes that the treaty had already been violated eight days prior, but still seems optimistic about the future. “I can at times scarcely realize the change from War to peace & when I reflect on so many great men of Our native Country who have fought the Battles of Europe & found a Grave in America I cannot help saying the God of Battle has been on our side.” Discusses “panic respecting Banking business” and other financial concerns. Responds to news from home, including news of the good health of Mr. McLeod, Mr. Gorman’s new son and loss of his daughter, and the death of Mr. LeRoy.
