| Abstract | Expresses regret that Adams's sons and grandson expended their time as their father and grandfather did "in Diplomatick Dulness, where Knaves find fortune and honest Men Ruin"; comments that an act printed in [Benjamin] Ede's [Boston] Gazette, 13 Nov. 1775, regarding fitting out armed vessels to defend the coast of America is one of the most important documents in world history and the beginning of the destruction of Britain's domination of the sea; comments on a loan that was subscribed by [David] Parish and [Stephen] Girard; responds to a question in Rush's letter [of 10 April, regarding the present war]: "The Liberty of the Ocean is the Pretext, but the Power of the Union The Object." | ||
