John Adams to Abigail Adams, May 18, 1789

May 18 1789

My dearest Friend

I am in such a situation that I cannot see the way clear for you to come on, till some
resolution is passed in the House.— You will be as ready as you can, and I will write
you the Moment , Start deletion, to come on , End, . any Thing is done.— I
will resign my office rather than bring you here to be miserable.

Yours eternally

John Adams.
