From John Adams to United States Congress, 27 June 1798

United States—June 27th 1798

Gentlemen of the Senate and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives

As my opinion coincides entirely with that of his Excellency the Governor, I recommend the subject to the consideration of both Houses of Congress whose authority alone appears to me adequate to the occasion—

John Adams

DNA: RG 46—Records of the U.S. Senate.
