A personal letter from Julia Rush, in her family's estate Morven, to Benjamin Rush, in Philadelphia. Julia writes of her household and caregiving responsibilities, stating she “has her hands full I assure you.” Julia writes of her and Benjamin’s children's health, describing a home remedy she made to heal a toothache, and requests that Benjamin delegate some housekeeping chores in Philadelphia, giving him detailed instructions for this work such as pickling "morella" cherries. She also mentions the "adjournment of Congress” and spending an "afternoon in company with Mr. Jacob Read."
