Extract from John Adams to Thomas Jefferson

Quincy Montezillo July 12th 1822

I hope one day your letters will be all published in volumes. They will not always appear Orthodox, or liberal in politicks; but they will exhibit a mass of Taste, Sense, Literature and Science, presented in a sweet simplicity, and a neat elegance of Stile, which will be read with delight in future ages.

RC (DLC); at foot of text: “President Jefferson.” FC (MHi: Adams Papers).
