John Adams to Abigail Adams, November 28, 1793

Col Smiths Cottage, 1 near New York Nov. 28 1793

My Dearest Friend

I arrived here Yesterday, and had the Pleasure to dine with our Children and The Baron: All are very well and send their Duty. Charles is well, fat and handsome, and persists in the Line of Conduct which We so much approved. His Business increases & he will do well.

Accounts from Philadelphia continue to be favourable. M r Otis has written for his Family to come on, as M rs Smith informs me. if so I shall be at no loss.

M r Genet has made a curious Attack upon M r Jay and M r King which you will see in the Papers. 2 My Duty to Mother, Love to Brothers Sisters Cousins, particularly Louisa. I go on towards Philadelphia to day. yours
