Note: Last entry incomplete; MS mutilated and lacking 1 or more leaves. Cf. another version of this "Peace Journal," 2 Nov.-13 Dec. 1782, sent by JA to Continental Congress and now in PCC, No. 84, IV, 242-296. The two texts are not identical in either substance or form; see MF's analysis and marked copy of corresponding text of D/JA, 3:37-97, both in REF. FILE under JA, Peace Journal. For the history of the two versions as known to eds. in 1961, see D/JA, 3:41-43. The present version came to light in Jan. 1965.
