You will doubtless have long ago learned that the office which was the subject of your two favors to me was filled by mr Adams some days before he went out of office. I have not considered as candid, or even decorous, the crouding of appointments by mr A. after he knew he was making them for his successor & not for himself, even to 9. aclock of the night, at twelve of which he was to go out of...
I recieved in due time your friendly favor of June 18 . and profited of the information it contained, as you will have seen by a certain paper inclosed to you from this place.
