11From John Adams to Thomas Welsh, 10 October 1790 (Adams Papers)
It would give me great Pleasure to comply with your request, and to be of Service to you, in any Way in my Power: but I am not at Liberty to communicate the most distant hint to any one, relative to the Subject.

I received some time ago, though not until after my arrival at this place your favour of 15.
