P.S. Have the goodness dear sir, to drop me a letter containing a little sketch of your life. I mean principally facts; I want them to make a Biography from.—I want the names of your parents—where they were born—where you were born & when—your education & at what Schools—your profession—when you first came into public life—the early part you took in the Revolution—& other facts which you may deem proper. & if not too troublesome the same facts of your brother the late Samuel Adams Esqr. whose portrait & life will also appear in my work.—No party politics will appear in my work, and no man’s life will be written with disgusting panegric. Nothing will appear but a dignified, plain, concise statement of facts.
