8058To John Adams from William Tudor, Jr., 15 June 1822 (Adams Papers)
I have some difficulty in fixing on that period in Otis’s career, when he in a manner withdrew himself from leading in public affairs, and rendered himself obnoxious to public suspicion as to the motives of his conduct. Judge Minot speaks of it under the head of the year 1763, but I found in the journals that Otis was chairman of a Committee for writing Manduit, on the affairs of the Province...
8059From John Adams to George Washington Adams, 15 June 1822 (Adams Papers)
I am well pleased with your No. 31 & 32 I hope you will continue the subject. I see nothing in the quarterly reviews but the Johnsonian antipathy to Scotland. That Mr Locke has had greater influence on the intellectual moral & political world than any man of the last century I believe; but to deny that Reid, and Stuart, have made no improvements, upon Locke appears to me uniniquitous...

I have the honor to present you a copy of a poem that has obtained some considerable reputation in this country and is now republishing in England—but be assured I have not the vanity to think in sending to you that it is worthy of yr. notice but as a sincere tho’ poor testimony of the reverance an unknown youth holds for the venerable patriot to whom his country owes so much.
