Thanks Otis for the copy of a translation of Carlo Botta's History of the War of Independence, Vol. 2 (Storia della guerra della indipendenza degli Stati Uniti d'America, in Italian). Discusses the translation, noting that "Of the original work the high character seems to be sufficiently established." Indicates that a recent letter he wrote was not for publication, but permits Otis to use as he sees fit. Tells Otis that Andrew Stephenson of Richmond, Virginia requests a subscription of "your volumes as they come out."
