notable item/thing
pleasure of seeing him
called at our home
reports you had respecting the yellow fever were groundless
not a patient has been admitted into the hospital
some few may have died in the beginning of the winter
heard of no case for a considerable time
cold winter
immensity of snow
accounts of the capture of the insurgent French frigate
hope your frigate may have the same success as the Constellation
requested information respesting your pictures
shipped them on board a vessel called the Rising Sun
recollect the captain's name
your letter
safe arrival of the post note
immediately should have answered it but a multiplicity of business at the close of the session prevented me
