John Quincy Adams to Thomas Boylston Adams, May 9, 1797

The Hague 9 May 1797.

My dear Brother.

Mess rs: Moliere, will this day extend
your credit with their correspondent at Paris, to the amount of 4000 livres more. This I
presume will amply suffice for your occasions.

I requested you by my last letter, to be here not later than the
25 th: of this month. There is to be a Ball on that day at
the Hotel de Suéde. The Count desires me to tell you, that you will be very much wanted
as a danser; that he cannot excuse you, and what is more, that if you do not come to
attend it, Mlle N— will never forgive you. 1

General Pinckney and his family are gone to Rotterdam. 2 The Fair is not remarkably brilliant. 3 I do not hear as yet of any fête for the peace.
I have this day your letter of 15. Floréal. 4

M r: König went from this, three or four
days after you. 5 If you see him, remember
me kindly to him, and to all my other friends at Paris.

Your affectionate brother.
