The Adams Papers - fascinating!

Janice Farnsworth posted an excerpt from one of John Adams' diaries on the Massachusetts mailing list, and added a link for this particular diary #47 - http://www.masshist.org/digitaladams/aea/cfm/doc.cfm?id=D47.

It is fascinating - both in style and content. I had an enjoyable 15 minutes reading sections of his voyage in 1778 from Boston to France and his stay in France conducting state affairs.

The entire set of Adams Family Papers is at http://www.masshist.org/digitaladams/aea/, including his diaries, his autobiography and the letters between he and his wife, Abigail.

Isn't the Internet wonderful? Thanks to Janice for the link.
