From John Adams to Timothy Pickering, 28 July 1798
New York July 28. 1798
Sir
I received upon my Arrival here your favour of the 25th with the Commissions, all of which I have signed and My son will transmit them to you. The Weather was yesterday so hot, that I came very nigh destroying my Horses, and is not moderated this morning.
I am, Sir your most obedient / and humble servant
John Adams
