6940. PRIESTLEY (Joseph), Dupont and.—

I have a letter from Mr. Dupont [de
Nemours], since his arrival at New York.
* * * How much it would delight me if a visit
from you at the same time, were to show us
two such illustrious foreigners embracing each
other in my country, as the asylum for whatever
is great and good.—
To Joseph Priestley. Washington ed. iv, 317. Ford ed., vii, 415.
