Summary
The author of this diary is unknown. The translator, Julius Sachse writes in the introduction, "This pamphlet, as the title page sets forth, is an extract from several missives from Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, wherein is described the entire voyage from Rotterdam to Pennsylvania, carefully noted, together with the climate of this country, the actions of the inhabitants, and a setting forth of their industries, conditions, etc., also the names of such tame and wild animals, birds, fish, field and garden fruits, etc. of that place; at the same time many remarkable circumstances, heretofore unknown to us are truly described....Not the least interesting part of this missive is the note about the devout hermit. This hermit was none other than Conrad Mathai, and the notice here given, short though it is, throws further light upon this strange character, who lived for so many years on the banks of the romantic Wissahickon..."

Title
Adam Reigart Jr., John S. Murphy Collection
Description
The Adam Reigart Jr., John S. Murphy Collection contains correspondence between Adam Reigart, Jr. in Lancaster and Philip Wager in Philadelphia and their families. The letters are primarily from the early nineteenth century and provide information about family illness, travel, visits, business, and family chatter. The receipts and invoices show purchases made in Lancaster and Philadelphia, especially clothing, fabric, dry goods, and meat. The remainder of the collection is made up of newspaper articles, books, and an album of poetry and drawings. The items were housed in a gig trunk which is now in the museum collection.
Admin/Biographical History
Adam Reigart, Jr. (1765-1844) was born in Lancaster. He was the eldest son of Col. Adam Reigart, owner of the Grape Tavern which served as general headquarters during the Revolutionary War. Adam Jr. founded the Reigart Wine Store in 1785 and was in business with Philip Wager in Philadelphia and Philip's son Peter throughout his career. He was the first president of the Lancaster branch of the Bank of Pennsylvania, and was involved with the Conestoga Navigation Company and the Union Fire Company.
Adam Jr. married Mary Magdalena Wager (1772-1806) in 1791. Mary was the daughter of Philip Wager, a Philadelphia wine merchant. They had eight daughters and a son. Susan married Stephen C. Slaymaker and Margaretta married Henry Y. Slaymaker.
