2. In a note to
JA dated 2 April (filmed at 22 March 1782,
Adams Papers, Microfilms, Reel No. 356), Dana most probably enclosed two copies of a letter dated 30 March
and a duplicate of one dated 5 March for Robert R. Livingston (
Wharton, ed., Dipl. Corr. Amer. Rev., 5:223–225, 280–283). Dana had written
{ 398 } to
JA on 15 March (filmed at 4 March,
Adams Papers, Microfilms, Reel No. 356) asking him to forward a letter, which was probably the 5 March letter
to Livingston.
