3From John Adams to John Trumbull, 25 April 1790 (Adams Papers)
Your favour of March 30. and Ap. 17. came to hand last night. By the “attack in Metre” you mean I suppose, that written by Ned.

5To James Madison from Adam Stephen, 25 April 1790 (Madison Papers)

I am...

I recieved yours My Dearest Father with more pleasure than is possible for me to express and am happy to hear that you are at last settled at New Yorck as I am in hopes we shall now hear from you often.
