To John Adams from John Steele, 29 August 1798
Trenton August 29th. 1798
Sir,
It is with pride and pleasure I comply with the request of some old friends, and acquaintances in presenting you the enclosed address. Sentiments so just expressed in style so dignified, and manly will not I hope (even at this late day) be unacceptable to One whose firmness, and foresight have more than once rescued his country from impending ruin.
I have the honor to be / Sir, / With the most profound respect / Your most Obedient & humble servant
Jno. Steele
