From John Adams to Henry Colman, 11 November 1818
Quincy November [11] 1818.
Dear Sir
Your favour of the 2d is among the dearest of my Consolations. The whole World Sympathises with me. All Animosities and Party feelings are forgotten. It is impossible that Relations, Friends, Neighbours or the Public could have been more kind.
An Example to the World has dissapeared but cannot be forgotten. I can Say no more.
Your Friend
John Adams
