The "Poetical Chronology" was also
preserved from a News-Paper. It contains
the Times of certain memorable Events, during
the old French War. I was glad to meet with
it. And having met with it, I make it an offering
to my loving little Wife. - I wish you would inform me
very exactly in your next, the hour in the night or Morn-

scribed. It began at Washington about Sun-set on Sunday
the 21st and if I have been informed right, did not
commence at New York untill Midnight. I request you,
my love, to inquire & write me exactly when that Storm
began, as it is connected with other facts tending to a Theory
of the atmospheric Motions in Winter. Yours tenderly & truly Sam L Mitchill
