1. JA's letter to Rush of 8 Feb. 1778, with a postscript by AA saying she stood “in need of [Rush's] prescriptions of Condolance,” is now in MB; LbC (Adams Papers) is printed in JA, Works , 9:472–473, without the postscript. Rush's statement that he had received this letter on “the 10th. of this instant” (i.e. August), found also in LbC, makes the date he attached to LbC altogether unaccountable.
