[Letter from Elizabeth Upshur Teackle to her sister, Ann Uphsur Eyre - June 26, 1803]

George Wilson Jackson was the brother-in-law of Congressman John Dennis, Littleton Teackle Dennis's Uncle who lived next door to them in Princess Anne at their home Beckford, which Elizabeth states "places our family in a delicate situation." Elizabeth mentions a recent trip to Baltimore and their Aunt Susannah Kendall.
