 [No title]
Richard was away again on business--had been gone, indeed, since the day after we had driven in the Park: so I was to be put on board the boat, and left in charge of Kilian, his younger brother, who had called at my uncle's office, and made the arrangement with him.
Richard kissed his sister, and answered some of her many questions, then shook hands with the young ladies, but I could see that his eye was searching for me. I can't tell why, certainly not because I felt at all shy, I had stepped back, a little behind the pillar and the vines.
Richard came up to me and said, "Sophie is waiting to know if you will let her drive you, or if you will walk." I had not yet been obliged to speak to Richard since I had heard what people said about us, and I felt uncomfortable.

 Jersey City History - Prospect Hall
It was sold by him about a year later to Colonel Richard Varick, of New York, who, with Anthony Dey and Jacob Radcliff, two prominent leaders of the New York bar, founded the little city of Jersey, which they fondly hoped would some day rival the great metropolis across the river.
Varick's death, which occurred before 1820, the colonel became more or less of a recluse, and the great door above the almost circular stoop was rarely opened except for old friends.
Colonel Varick, accustomed as he was to the best society of his time, must have been disquieted by the class of people which came to reside permanently in the city for which he had predicted so brilliant a future.

In this January 1, 1784, letter, Washington acknowledges their arrival at Mount Vernon and thanks Varick for having them "so properly arranged, & so correctly recorded."
