From John Adams to Oliver Wolcott, Jr., 23 July 1799
Quincy July 23d 1799
Sir
Inclosed is a letter from Mr. Thaxter relative to the light house on Gay head.
I shall soon send you a drawing if not a model of an œconomical improvement of these lights of Mr. Cunnington, which appears to me, but I may be mistaken, of greater importance than the great question who shall be the keeper of one of them.
J. Adams
