Familiar Letters of John Adams and His Wife Abigail Adams During the Revolution
with a Memoir of Mrs. Adams
Familiar Letters of John Adams and His Wife Abigail Adams During the Revolution was published in 1876 by their grandson Charles Francis Adams, with his memoir of Abigail. It gathers nearly three hundred letters exchanged while John was away in Philadelphia at the Continental Congress and later on diplomatic missions in Europe, and Abigail ran the family farm in Braintree, Massachusetts, raised their children and reported on the war around Boston. The letters move between politics and private life: news of battles and debates, prices and smallpox, worries about the children, and Abigail's famous request that Congress "remember the ladies." Together they give an intimate view of the Revolution from both sides of a marriage. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first letters are free.
