125th. (Adams Papers)
Paris. At the Opera. Panurge dans l’lsle des Lanternes ; a new Opera. 12th time. Words, which are very indifferent M: Morel: music, which is exquisite M: Gretri. I dont know how it happens, but the more this gentleman composes, the better his music is, I think. The dancing was also admirable, Gardel, and Vestris, perhaps the two best dancers in the world, performed together; and strove to...

When I parted with you at Paris I flattered myself to have had the pleasure before this of seeing you here with M rs Adams & your Family, but the hope of that is at an end while I remain in England, & I almost despair of any Good arising to our Country from the Gent n in our Commission coming here at all— such is the strange Blindness & Perversion of all ranks of People in this Country whom I...

I have the honor to inclose you the copy of an Act which passed the Assemblies of Virginia and Maryland at the close of their respective Sessions; about the first of last month. The circumstances...

10To Thomas Jefferson from Elbridge Gerry, 25 February 1785 (Jefferson Papers)
I am this Day favoured with yours of the 11th. of Novr., and am unhappy to hear that the Flames of War have burst again in the eastern World, and that there is too much Reason to apprehend they will rage, at an early period, in the western Hemisphere. Nevertheless, if Britain is so much under the Influence of a weak passion, as to indulge it in renewing Hostilities amongst us, we shall meet...
