Permit me to introduce to your friendly notice our eldest Son &
daughter who mean to stay a short time in Boston, and are desirous of paying their
respects to you & Mr. Adams—1 I flatter myself they are virtuous & amiable
& that you will not be displeased with them, they have had but few advantages of
education beyond what they could find at home. They will not I fear notwithstanding
their partiality to Kennebec induce you & Mr. Adams to
pay us a visit though it would give us great pleasure to see you
Mr. V—— says that the country is much
less remarkable at present for its lumber, than for its soil, its farms & its
orchards & that Europeans & Americans are equally struck as they pass through
it— He desires to unite with me in respectful remembrances to yourself & Mr. Adams—
I remain Dear Madam, / your respectful hum Servt.
