ALS, as secretary of state, one page, 7.5 x 10, October 7, 1817. Letter to Orchard Cook. In part: “I have received your favour…enclosing a printed copy of your valuable charge to a jury in 1805, which I have read with much pleasure, and a Letter to the President, which I immediately transmitted to him at his Seat in Virginia, where he is now. I shall consider myself fortunate if any circumstance shall occur which may place it in my power of service to you. The President’s disposition I have no doubt is equally friendly; and although I am not at present acquainted with any situation that would be suitable or acceptable to you, yet whenever such a one shall present itself, I am persuaded he will not be unmindful of your wishes or of your qualifications.” In fine condition, with light intersecting folds. Accompanied by an unsigned engraving. Cook was a three-time congressman from Massachusetts from 1805–1811 and later served as postmaster of Wiscassett, Maine from 1811 until his death in 1819. Adams was forwarding the copy to president James Monroe, elected earlier in the year, and had just sold his land to the University of Virginia, perhaps referenced as his “Seat” by Jefferson.
