Sir: I beg leave, through you, to offer to the House of Representatives of the United States, impressions of the two prints of the American Revolution, which I have lately caused to be published.[48]
The importance of the events, and the illustrious characters of the two great men to whose memory they are particularly devoted, give to these works their best claim to your notice; and the patriotism of my countrymen, I trust, will give them a kinder reception than their intrinsic merit might entitle me to hope.
With great respect, I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
JNO. TRUMBULL.
The Speaker of the House of Reps. U. S.
Resolved, That the rules and orders of proceeding established by the late House of Representatives, shall be deemed and taken to be the rules and orders of proceeding to be observed in this House, until a revision or alteration of the same shall take place.
Resolved, That each member be furnished with three newspapers, printed in this city, during the session, at the expense of this House.
Mr. Marshall, from the joint committee appointed to wait on the President of the United States, reported, that they had performed that service; and that the President had appointed to-morrow forenoon, 12 o'clock, to meet both Houses in the Representatives' Chamber.
The House then adjourned, till to-morrow morning at eleven o'clock.
