- Summary
- Urges Thomson to write a political history of the American Revolution, since this will be much subject to misinterpretation in future years. Would probably be improper that it be known that he was engaged in this activity, and book should probably not be published during Thomson's lifetime, so this hint is for Thomson's eyes alone.
