JOHN ADAMS TO
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
“You will never be alone with
a Poet in your Poket.”
John Adams was one of the most learned Americans of his time and his eldest son, John Quincy, was his pride and joy. The following letter was written while the father was serving as Minister to the Netherlands and the son was a student at Leyden. The fourteen-year-old John Quincy was himself already one of the most well-traveled and well-read Americans of the day.
