Farwell [sic] to an Old Friend:
July 11, 1783 -- Gallatin and Savary quit Harvard, leaving Serre behind because of tutoring obligations. Serre catches up to them in Philadelphia where he pays $500 to Gallatin as part of a debt owed. He then parts for Jamaica to pursue a business venture there. Unfortunately, Serre becomes desperately ill down there, and dies before he can return to America. |
