Abigail Adams

“My Dearest Friend” is how Abigail Smith Adams — the first Second Lady and second First Lady of the United States — began nearly all her letters to her husband, John. The correspondence with her husband produced nearly 1,200 letters over a span of about 40 years, providing a compelling record of early American life. Brian says that although “Abigail’s was not the loveliest hand, I found it sure and expressive. It also carries a genuine flavor of the period.”

More than 950 characters, including ligatures, stylistic and contextual alternates, lining and old-style figures, ink blots, cross-outs, and Central and Eastern European language support.
