398 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
JAY TO MRS. JAY.
My Dear Sally : boston, 6th May, 1790.
As the last post did not bring me a letter from you
I conclude that you had gone to Elizabethtown, and
had not yet returned. I wrote to you on Monday
and on Saturday last. Yours of the 23d of last month
is the only one that has reached me.
The business of the court having been finished
yesterday I shall have an opportunity of seeing whatever is worthy of notice in and about the place, unless
the weather, which is now very disagreeable, should
continue so. I had two days ago a pleasant ride to
Cambridge over the new bridge, of which you have
often heard ; we extended our excursion to some
pretty seats not far distant from the College, and among
others Mr. Gerry's. On Wednesday next I purpose,
on invitation from Judge Cushing and General
Lincoln, to visit them. This will take me thirty
miles out of my way to Portsmouth, but having time
enough and my horses in good order, that circumstance is not very important. Tell Judge Hobart I
shall pay particular attention to Hingham, where his
ancestors on first coming to this country settled.
Mrs. Winthrop made many friendly inquiries about
you and the children, and charged me not to omit
making her compliments to you. The spring does
not appear more forward here than it did at New
York when I left you. As yet we have had but very
few fine days; cold easterly winds seem to prevail
here. I think our climate a better one.
Adieu, my dear Sally, Yours affectionately,
John Jay.
