In June 1774, John Adams was appointed a member of the Massachusetts Committee to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia, and on August 10 after moving his family back home, he set out for Philadelphia. From that day for the next ten years, Abigail was separated from her beloved husband most of. the time, but the letters they sent to each other have become a legend. They were preserved and are part of the record that gives to history, a great deal of information about the Revolutionary period. In the spring of 1775, the Revolutionary War swept almost to her doorstep. Unfriendly Indians peopled the woods beyond her fields and there was danger on every side. Through all this Abigail was magnificent. She gave the Minute Men her pewter spoons to "be melted into bullets: helped the soldiers: nursed the sick;, supervised the farm; and did all in her power to obey her husband's request that she train her children to virtue. .

In February 1778 Congress sent John Adams to France to be ready to negotiate the peace treaty that members hoped would soon be.needed to end the American Revolution. He sailed with his oldest son, John Quincy leaving Abigail to shoulder the responsibilities of the farm' and home. In 1784, seeing little hope of being recalled to America, he wrote Abigail to join him. With her daughter, Nabby, she sailed in June of that . veur. In 1785. letters from America notified Mr. Adams that he had been appointed the first American minister to the Court of St. James and he and Abigail went' to England to a job that was not easy. Both the American Minister and King George III were brusque, and made not attempt at being friends. It was Abigail, charming, pleasant and calm... who acted as a buffer between the two men. urging her husband to use persuasion rather than open defiance. She resented the King's manner as much as her husband did. but realized that her husband was there as the official ambassador of the United when Washington retired, there was a hotly contested election in which John Adams, by a slender majority was made President and Thomas Jefferson, Vice President. As Abigail was the wife of the first minister to the Court of St. James, so she was the first First Lady to live in the White House at Washington. Almost at the end of her husbands term as President, November 1800, the 'Adams family moved, into the unfinished Execu- tive Mansion. Washington was then little more than a wilderness. Roads were in mud or either knee-dee- p ' buried in dust. Abigail was now fifty-si- x years old and longed for the tranquility of her New Eng-- . land home. But as usual, her courage came forth. She said, If they will put me up some bells and let me have wood enough to keep fires, I design to be pleased, "...and she went to work to make a drying room of the great unfinished audience room in the White House and hung up her washing there. Though Abigail was ill most of the last few years of her' life; she1 watched over her household, kept her knitting going, and continued to write hundreds of letters, many to her son, John Quincy, who was successively minister to Germany,. Russia, and England. When in 1817 President Monroe appointed him Secretary of State. Abigail's pride was intense. She died on October 28, 1818, less than a month before her 74th birthday and did not live 'to see John Quincy become the sixth President of our country some seven years later. Smithfield.
