Notes:

The AAS manuscript collection also contains a letter to Thomas from Benjamin West, dated July 18, 1785, in which West regrets that other affairs have prevented his calculating Thomas's almanac for the coming year.

The "Dr. Low" referred to by Stearns is Nathaniel Low, the almanac calculator, whose own prediction of five eclipses for the approaching year had evidently come to Thomas's attention.

Advertised in the Massachusetts spy, Worcester, Oct. 13, 1785.
