This house has more than passing
interest from the fact that 1t was
there Abigail wrote the famous let
tiers to her husband while the latter
vas attending the continental con.
gress in Philadelphia. Alone with her
son, John Quincy Adams, she passed
many lonely days and nights waiting
for the return of the husband and
was to mean SO much to them.
AS related in her letters, the house
was besieged with weary soldiers ev-
cry day on their way to Boston. AS
she wrote to her husband: my house
is in confusion; soldiers coming in for
lodging, for breakfast. for supper, for
drink. Sometimes refugees from Bos-
ton. tired and fatigued, seek an asy-
lum for a day, night, a week."
This old house, like all buildings
erected in Its day. is provided with
ample fireplaces. but even those glow
ing hearths were not sufficient to
keep the place warm during the terri
bly, cold winter of 1775-1776, when Mr..
Adams was away, and Abigail. writing
to him. often had to stop in her cor
respondence because the ink had fro
zen and her fingers were numb with
the cold
And yet. despite the difficulties un-
der which she lived. 1t was in this
house that Abigail Adams wrote at
this time to her husband: Let us sep
crate from the kings party. Let us
renounce them. and instead of suppl.
cation. as formerly, let us beseech
the Almighty to blast their counsals
and bring to naught all their devices"
