1002. Nathaniel White to his father. Comments on news of peace. "The tidings of Peace I believe were never before so coolly received, at least if I may judge of the general feeling by that of this section of the country…."I returned yesterday from a tour to Windsor in company with Mr. Ritchie & wife and Miss Grassie on their way to the metropolis, whither Mr. Ritchie is bending to meet the house...On my way back I passed a few days with young Johnston ( son of my landlady) who practises as an attorney at Horton. I spent my time there very pleasantly. We went down to Cornwallis where we were entertained in a most hospitable manner by Mr. Prescott (a brother of the Doctor's) who has a very elegant seat there. Our winter has been excessively severe so far, the sleighing very fine and has continued so more than two months incessantly and there is no prospect of its leaving us."  Family matters. Holograph.
