1157. CENSUS, First U. S.—[continued].

Nearly the whole of the
States have now returned their census. I send
you the result. * * * Making a very small
allowance for omissions, we are upwards of
four millions; and we know in fact that the
omissions have been very great.—
To David Humphreys. Ford ed., v, 372.
