1 Franklin in a letter of Dec. 19, 1775, thanked Dumas for “the kind present you have made to us of your edition of Vattel. It came to us in good season, when the circumstances of a rising State make it necessary frequently to consult the law of nations. Accordingly, that copy which I kept … has been continually in the hands of the members of our Congress now sitting, who are much pleased with your notes and preface, and have entertained a high and just esteem for their author.” Francis Wharton, The Revolutionary Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States, Vol. II, p. 64 (1889), House Misc. Doc. 603, 50th Cong., 1st Sess.—Note added in manuscript.
