Description

Sought-after personal letter by Abigail Adams

Scarce ALS signed “A. A.,” one page, 7.25 x 5.75, no date. Letter to the wife of her son Thomas B. Adams, addressed, "Dear Daughter," in part: "If you had been alone I should have requested you to dine with me to day, but it looked queer to invite a stranger to an every day dinner. But if you will accept what we have and bring miss white with you, I will send the chaise by one o'clock for you." Also addressed on the reverse in her own hand, "Miss Adams." In fine condition, with scattered light staining.
