Scope and Contents She left Newport which she thinks "the meanest place in the world." She has not heard a word from H.J. but if he comes to Newport he will miss them as they are leaving for Philadelphia. She will attend a party at Gov. Knight's tonight. She misses the peach and apple brandy. "I would give fifty dollars this minute for a good drink, for I have not seen a drop since I left you." Some wines in the North and she will take a little good champagne when she cannot get apple brandy. She had to send down for a little something for a stomach ache and was sent gin, "the most delightful thing with the exception of the apple brandy I ever tasted." In a later note, she writes that she has returned from the governor's party where she was a big hit and flattered the people with how much she liked New England.
