John Adams to Abigail Adams, October 14, 1789

[Fai]rfield Oct: 14. 1789

My dearest Friend

M r Dalton, M r Jenkes and myself
are at Penfields in good health and Spirits.— My Horses perform very well and my Servant
tolerably.

We have met with nothing but Rocks in the Road to molest us. These have jolted us very
rudely but Salubriously. I shall keep M r Dalton company to
Boston at least to Cambridge.

according to present Conjectures We shall Spend the Sabbath at Springfield. My Love to
my Young Lawyer, and all the rest

yours

J. A.
