E. A. HOLYOKE TO JOHN ADAMS.

Sir,

Your Excellency’s favors done to the Massachusetts Medical Society call for their most grateful acknowledgments;1 and it is at their desire I now inclose to your Excellency the copy of a vote from their records, expressive of the gratitude they feel and the obligations they are under to your Excellency for your kind attention to their interests, and for the honor done them by introducing them to an acquaintance with so respectable a body as the Société Royale de Médecine at Paris, to which, permit me, sir, to add my own personal thanks; and as while we continue to prosecute the ends of our institution, we are promoting the cause of science and humanity, so we shall still hope for the continuance of your Excellency’s good offices.

I have the honor to be, &c.

E. A. Holyoke.
