Sally Bromfield's informal and funny letter to her brother. Says she received what she will call only a beginning of a letter from Livingston. Pokes fun at him when she says "I chearfully acquiese in your abrupt conclusion, as I am sure you must have receivd pleasure from attending those agreeable Ladies, as you describe them to be." Speaks in an ironic tone when she agrees with him for having opened her writing genius. Says it is because she writes four letters to his one and gets more practice. Says their father, Robert Livingston, received his letter and was pleased. Wishes to see their parents live without anxiety in peaceful times. She sends news of their friends and family.
