A New Interest:
1793 -- Concerned friends worry Gallatin is working too hard and relaxing too little. A.J. Dallas, a friend from the Pennsylvania Legislature and Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, invites Gallatin to accompany him and his wife on a trip to Albany New York. It was in Albany that Gallatin meets Hannah Nicholson, the second-eldest daughter of Commodore James Nicholson. Unlike many men of this period, the Commodore believe in equal education for his children, so Hannah and her sisters not only learned how to be comfortable amongst the best of New York society, they were well-read in politics, literature and history as well. |
