To John Adams from Timothy Pickering, 30 October 1797

Sir,
By yesterday morning’s mail I received two letters, superscribed by you, one addressed to the Revd. Stephen Peabody, at Atkinson, N. Hampshire, which is inclosed; the other to your son Charles, which I now send to him.
According to your directions, I am preparing the papers and business which I imagine you may think proper to lay before Congress.
I have the honor to be / with great respect, / Sir, Your most obt. servt.
Timothy Pickering
