Since I last took the liberty to address you I received a certificate from Dr. Rush. The certificate I have sent to Mr. Smith; and here send for your consideration a true copy of it. With the highest respect I have the honor to be yr. ob. Servt. MHi : Coolidge Collection.
Dr. Ewell takes the liberty to enclose for his Excellency Mr. Jefferson a copy of Dr. Hartshorne’s inaugural Essay. Should the President not be disposed to read the whole—between the 28th and last pages he will find those experiments related which shew how destructive the Oxygenated M. acid is to animals, and the consequent danger attendent on its use, as advised by the French chemists.

Doctor Ewell offers his respects to the President: Having lately purchased a most valuable work of the Surgeon, of whose writings Mr. Jefferson has expressed favorable sentiments—he takes the liberty to send it for inspection.

His heart swell’d with grateful feelings, on reading the generous mention you made of him—while your condescension served to encrease his exalted opinion of your worth, as well as to excite the warmest emotions of friendship. I will not pretend to convey my feelings on the...
