From John Adams to Oliver Wolcott, Jr., 30 August 1798

Quincy Aug 30th 1798

Dear Sir

Please to write to Gen. Lincoln authorizing him to furnish me money out of the appropriation for my salary, while I remain here. I intended to have asked you for such a letter & brought it with me, but you was necessarily absent in Conntt. You may limit him to any sum you think proper; but I shall have occasion for all my salary while I remain here

I am &c

John Adams
