Acknowledges receipt of 28 December and 22 January. Dumas is sorry that the notes on Roman history have remained in his friend's portfolio. He is happy to learn of the words Adams spoke in his favor to Congress. Nancy has been working on her collection, and has almost completed a volume in folio. Dumas asks that his best wishes be communicated to John Jay, and that Sir James also tell his brother o f the matters he and Dumas have talked over. Most of Sir James' patients have not been very assiduous in following orders. Dumas himself, because of the press of business, has not had time to think of medicine.
