Adams Papers

From John Adams to Oliver Wolcott, Jr., 23 July 1799

Quincy July 23d 1799

Sir

Inclosed is a letter from Mr. Thaxter relative to the light house on Gay head.

I shall soon send you a drawing if not a model of an œconomical improvement of these lights of Mr. Cunnington, which appears to me, but I may be mistaken, of greater importance than the great question who shall be the keeper of one of them.

J. Adams
