About This Book

The volume presents a chronological collection of correspondence between John Adams and his wife Abigail written during the Revolutionary era, accompanied by an editorial preface and a memoir of Abigail. The letters alternate personal and public concerns: domestic routines, health, finances, childrearing, and affectionate counsel; candid reactions to military and political developments; diplomatic travel impressions; and moral reflection. Editorial annotations and footnotes provide context and occasional emendations. Together the pieces portray the everyday burdens, anxieties, and convictions that shaped their private lives and public engagement during a period of national crisis.
