26. AA2's letter to JQA, marked N. 3, dated 13 June, and sent with a William Stephens Smith letter to Mr. King
[Rufus King?
], presumably by a vessel sailing for New York, was received by JQA at Boston on 31 Aug. (JQA to AA2,
29 Aug., below), but has not been found; nor has another letter, probably marked N. 4, and perhaps written toward the end of June. The second of AA2's “too long letters besides this” is N. 5, of
4 July, above.
