From Abigail Smith Adams to Caroline Amelia Smith De Windt

11 August 1811

My Dear Caroline:

Quincy, Aug. 11th, 1811.

I do not know how our account stands, whether I am indebted for a letter or you, but I shall not be very strict with you; I am always delighted with your letters, whether to me or to Susan; we talk daily of you, and wish for you, and when I think how far you all are from me, I am ready to sit down and weep.

We go on much in the old way here—now and then a large party, then a few friends.

A. A.
