Additional Details

". . . Mrs. Feather Stone Haugh [Featherstonhaugh], Mr. Duane's daughter, . . . had contemplated a visit to la Grange. Her father was my friend and so she is. We are very anxious to receive her, and if you come Monday, she, being alone in Paris, might find it a good opportunity to go, as her plan to make the journey with Mr. and Mrs. Fisher may have failed. . . ."
