Archive of letters to and from the descendants of John and Abigail Adams. This collection originates from the wife of the great-great-great grandson of Edwin Bartlett’s brother, Charles L. Bartlett; she was the great-great granddaughter of Union General William F. Bartlett. Archive is as follows:
Thomas Boylston Adams: ALS, no date but 1822-1824. Family letter to his teenage son Cadet Thomas B. Adams, Jr., at Norwich Academy, Vermont. Free frank signature of President John Adams has been cut off the address leaf, removing about 10-12 words of text on six lines. On address leaf, Elizabeth Coombs Adams has penciled: “To Tom about Mrs Jarvis” and written “for Cary to read.” Tom was her brother, the letter’s recipient. Cary was Caroline Harrod Bartlett, her first cousin.
John Quincy Adams free frank on address leaf of family ALS “Hull” of his nephew Isaac Hull Adams, Washington, March 25, 1844, to Caroline E. Bartlett, Hull’s first cousin, asking her to send a named piece of opera music desired by his sister-in-law, Mrs. John Adams, “to Uncle Adams,” his father’s brother, Congressman John Quincy Adams. He adds, “There is little talked of here, except Texas, and there was a rumour that the treaty was to be sent to the Senate today…”
George B. McClellan ALS, Orange, NJ, September 17, 1864. To Edwin Bartlett, husband of Thomas Boylston Adams’ niece. Three weeks after becoming the Democratic nominee for President against Lincoln, McClelland thanks Bartlett for a letter, adding “regards to Mrs. Bartlett.”
Giuseppe Garibaldi: Two complete ALSs signed “G. Garibaldi” in Italian on one 8.25 x 10.5 page. Each dated Caprera, April 2, 1866. With original envelope addressed by Garibaldi to “General W.F. Bartlett Baring & Bros London.” Postmarked La Maddalena, April 3. In very good overall condition.
