“Miss Adorable …”

Here is the NY Times review of My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams, With a Foreword by Joseph J. Ellis, the newest edition of the correspondence of John and Abigail Adams. It’s nice to see that this edition goes further out in time, whereas earlier editions stop when the family is reunited in London in 1784. Once the family is together, they obviously do not need to write letters to one another. However – obviously there were still separations following 1784 – long ones, too! My Dearest Friend includes letters between them throughout the rest of their lives, which I am very excited to read.
