ADAMS, LOUISA CATHERINE
(1775 - 1852) First Lady, wife of John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States. Eight lines of poetry in Adams' hand, signed ""Louisa C. Adams"" at bottom, 1p. 12mo., [n.p., n.d.], in full: ""The fair behest's in flatt'ring guise / With pleasure I impart; / The Ocean parts, but ne'er denies / The friendships of the heart - / And lapse of years can ne'er efface / Friendships that early grew; / Mem'ry's bright blossoms oft retrace / The olden friend we knew - à"". Trimming at margins affects nothing, else fine.
