Thomas Boylston Adams to William Smith Shaw, 19 February 1801

Thomas Boylston Adams to William Smith Shaw

Philadelphia 19th: Feby 1801.

Dear Shaw—

We have been rejoycing with exceeding joy at the news of the result at Washington— Now we hope the Gentlemen will do something. I got your letter of Monday & at the same time was informed that the choice was finally made.1 Our former suspence was so uncomfortable, that any thing would have been considered a relief— It comforts me that New-England would not yield, but the rest have done better than nothing.

I shall accompany my Mother to New York, where I may probably remain three or four days— You need not cease writing however, nor will I—

Your’s

T B Adams—

RC (MWA:Adams Family Letters); addressed: “W. S. Shaw.”; internal address: “W S Shaw”; endorsed: “T B Adams / rec 22 Feb / An 23”; docketed: “1801 / Feby 19.”
