1. Jenings is replying to
JA's letter of 8 July (
Adams Papers), under cover of which, according to the next to last paragraph of this letter,
JA had sent the first four parts of his reworking of Thomas Pownall's
Memorial, London, 1780. The fifth and final part was presumably enclosed with
JA's letter of
14 July (above), for Jenings acknowledged its arrival in his reply to that letter of
21 July (below). For the composition and publication of
JA's revision, see A Translation of Thomas Pownall's
Memorial,
19 April – [ca 14 July] (above).
