From John Adams to Oliver Wolcott, Jr.

15 November 1799

Sir Phyladelphia. Nov, 15. 1799

By Some Accident or other the Original Papers concerning the Conspiracy against the Laws and the Beginnings of the late Insurrection in Pennsylvania were never laid before me. I believe they were transmitted to You by the Judge and the Marshall.

I have the Honor to be, Sir your most obedient

John Adams
