Received President's account -- "In reply to your wish to know the President's birth day it will be sufficient to observe that is on the 11th of February Old Style - but the almanack Makers have generally set it down opposite to the 11th day of Feby. of the present Style - how far that may go towards establishing it on this day I don't know - but I could never consider it any other ways than stealing as many days from his valuable life as is the difference between the old and the new Style."
