John Adams to James Bowdoin, June 11, 1789

New York June 11. 1789

Dear Sir

I have recieved the Letter you did me, the honour to write me, on
the 30. of May: but have not yet had an opportunity to See M r Boid. 1

Whenever that Gentleman shall appear, it will be a pleasure to me
to give him all the Attention and Assistance, in my Power, which may be due to public
Justice, and to your Recommendation.

We proceed Slowly: but in digesting Plans so new, so extensive and
so important, it is impossible to bring Bodies of Man to a clear Comprehension of Things
and a mutual Satisfaction without long deliberation and debate.

I called on Sir John Temple last Saturday and tho I was sorry to
find him in so ill health, I apprehend with Exercise and Care he will get the better of
his Complaint. 2

With great Respect I have the Honour / to be, Sir, your most
obedient and / most humble servant

John Adams.
