My Dear

I was very glad to receive a Line from you, by Mr. French, tho the Account you give me of the Danger of my dear Mother gives me great Concern. I fear she will not long survive her beloved Aunt who was buryed Yesterday. 1

Let me intreat you to be very carefull of your own Health which is very tender. Dont pretend to Watch. I had rather be at any Expence for Watchers than that you should attempt it one Night.

We are all well and make it do cleverly–€”so dont be uneasy about us.

I will endeavour soon to come up. Write me by every opportunity.

Superior Court is adjourned to 1st. Tuesday in June. General Court is preparing an Impeachment vs. the C [hief] Justice. 2 I must not add, but the Name of yr

John Adams
