The microfilm edition of the Warren-Adams papers, 1767-1822, consists
primarily of letters between John Adams; Abigail Adams; Samuel Adams;
Massachusetts legislator James Warren; and author, historian, and patriot Mercy
Otis Warren. Dating primarily from the time of the Revolutionary War, the
papers document the shaping of the new government and the growing alienation
between Great Britain and the mainland American colonies. Subjects include the
Townshend duties, the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the battles of
Lexington and Bunker Hill, the political activities of John and Samuel Adams,
military and naval affairs, commercial policy, negotiations with foreign
powers, problems of the Confederation period, and the ratification of the
federal Constitution. The collection also contains letters discussing family
matters and social activities. Among the correspondents are James Bowdoin, John
Dickinson, Elbridge Gerry, Henry Knox, Arthur Lee, and George Washington.
The microfilm does not include letters from the Adams Family Papers. All
items are individually described in the MHS manuscript catalog.
Most of the letters in this microfilm edition have been published in the
Massachusetts Historical Society's Collections,
vol. 72-73, entitled Warren-Adams Letters: Being Chiefly
a Correspondence Among John Adams, Samuel Adams, and James Warren
(Boston, 1917-1925). Printed in these two volumes are letters addressed to
James Warren and Mercy Otis Warren, formerly in the possession of Winslow
Warren, and letters from James Warren to John Adams in the Adams Family Papers.
The latter are not included in this microfilm edition.
Many of the items in this microfilm edition have been published in the Adams
Papers printed edition.
