16093From John Adams to William Cunningham, 17 August 1798 (Adams Papers)
I received your friendly letter of the 30 July a few days ago. The People of America in general have been attached to the French, much more warmly than they deserved. They have been deceived. And when Mankind once open their Eyes upon an Error they have been in, they commonly are astonished that they did not see it, sooner. I am glad to hear of the Company of Lunnenburg Musketeers.—Please to...
16094From John Adams to Oliver Spencer, 17 August 1798 (Adams Papers)
Your address has been forwarded by Colonel Spencer as you requested, and demands a respectfull return.

16095From John Adams to Me., Citizens of Kittery, 17 August 1798 (Adams Papers)
Your candid address of the 17th July which I received on the 16 of August, deserves my Thanks.
