To John Adams from François Adriaan Van der Kemp, September 1825

Olden Barneveld, Sept. 1825.

Often when I labour in my garden,—and I do so usually from sunrise till its setting—I expatiate with you and your son in your delightful mansion. Soon everything around you shall brighten, you shall revive a while, when the president your son visits you. Indeed your last days appear to me your best days.
