Adams Papers

31st.

31st.

A cold north-east storm.

Reading and writing all day. Wrote a letter to my mother, and one to my Sister.1 Read some pages in Bolingbroke’s philosophical works: the stile and matter both inferior to his political writings.

1. JQA to AA, 1 Aug. (Adams Papers); his letter to AA2 has not been found.
