ALS as president signed “J. Q. Adams,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, January 31, 1826. Marked “Private” along the top, a letter written from Washington and addressed to James Tallmadge, a former congressman and the Lieutenant Governor of New York, in full: “I am indebted to you, for your favours enclosing the Message of the Governor at the Commencement of your Session; and accompanied by a printed Report of a Committee of the Regents of the University appointed to visit the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, containing much useful information and some important suggestions. I offer you my thanks for these obliging communications, and shall be thankful for any others that you may be disposed and find it convenient to make.
The general tranquility prevailing throughout our Country, is a subject of congratulation to all who take a warm interest in her welfare. If there are those whose dispositions lead them to take more thought of the morrow, than the public good requires, they will perhaps when the morrow comes, be looking still for the day after—The morrow will take care of itself.” In very good to fine condition, with some light staining, two repaired small areas of edge paper loss, and professionally silked on the reverse.
