To Jean Luzac, 30 April 1782 Adams, John Luzac, Jean
To Jean Luzac
Amsterdam April 30. 1782 1 Sir

I ought to make an apology, for delaying So long to answer your Favour of the Sixteenth accompanied with Some printed Copies, of the Address of Thanks from the Body of Merchants and Manufacturers of the City of Leyden, to the great Council.

The great Qualities, which this Nation has always displayed upon occasions proper to call them Forth, appear with too much Splendour upon this occasion to be mistaken.

Dft? (Adams Papers); docketed in an unidentified hand: “John Adams 1782.”

The next extant letter from JA to Luzac is 18 Feb. 1783 (LbC, Adams Papers).
