ALS signed “J. Q. Adams,” one page, 7.75 x 9.5, November 14, [1815]. Letter to Jonathan Russell. In full: “Mr. W. Willink of Amsterdam, the father, is here, with his Lady, and will dine with us this day. They proceed tomorrow morning on their journey home. We have asked Mr. and Mrs. Meulemeester to meet them. May we hope for the pleasure of your company too? Mr. Clay’s servant Frederick takes this. Will you have the goodness to send by him the champagne which you mentioned to me a day or two since?” Reverse of the second integral page is addressed in Adams’s hand, “Mr. Russell.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds and a bit of trivial scattered light toning. Russell and Adams were political adversaries after Adams made concessions to the British after the War of 1812, which Russell thought too generous in an attempt to curry favor with the British.
