ALS sold, Anderson Gall., N.Y. (Manning Sale), 19–20 Jan. 1926, lot 282
"At a Time, when the English Emissaries are filling all Europe with their confident Assertions, of the Distress of the Americans, the enclosed Papers shew that both at Philadelphia and at Boston, the People are so much at their Ease, as to be busily employed, in the Pursuits of the Arts of Peace, and in laying Foundations for future Improvements in Science and Literature. It is perhaps the first Instance, of such tranquility of Mind in the midst of a civil war . . . I have received also the new Constitution of the Massachusetts Bay," etc.
