From John Adams to Wilhem & Jan Willink, 3 April 1787

To Wilhem & Jan Willink

Grosvr. square April 3d. 1787.

Gentlemen—

I have received your favour of the 13th. of March with the three obligations inclosed: & I thank you for your care in the Business—1 inclosed is an order on the Company of Willinks & Vanstaphorsts, for five hundred & sixty five Guilders being the Ballance due to you from me on account of these obligations—

with great esteem &c.

J A.

LbC in WSS’s hand (Adams Papers); internal address: “Messrs. Wilhem & Jan Willink—”; APM Reel 113.

1. The Willinks’ letter of 13 March has not been found. In a 1 Dec. 1786 letter to Wilhem Willink (LbC, APM Reel 113), JA directed him to purchase a single obligation on the latest Dutch-American loan. The firm, in its letter of 2 Feb. 1787, replied that since it was “advantageous” for JA, it had purchased two, with an expected premium of £1,000 (Adams Papers).
