John Adams to Charles Adams, November 23, 1794

Philadelphia Nov. 23. 1794

Dear Sir

Although you have not informed me, of the Result of your Examination at Albany, I shall venture to address this Letter to a Councillor at Law.

You will see by your public Papers tomorrow The Address of the Senate to the President in Answer to his Speech, and his Reply. 1 I wish to know the Sensations and Reflections, both of one Party and the other in New York upon both.

I have Suffered Some Anxiety on your Account least you should be in Want of the Necessary. I should have Sent you Some before now if I had possessed any: but really I have been & am still confoundedly pinched. Within the two first Weeks of December I shall send you, enough for present Use, if I can get any for myself. If the House should trifle with their Appropriation Bill as they have sometimes done, I shall be puzzled for Sometime: but you may depend upon its coming in the Course of the Winter.

I should be glad to hear from you as often as your Affairs will permit you to write to your / Affectionate

John Adams
