Abigail Adams

First Lady Abigail Adams and second U.S. President John Adams were the earliest occupants of the White House. From the start of their courtship until the end of their public service, the couple exchanged more than 1,100 letters. These historical documents verify that Abigail was her husband’s closest political adviser for decades.

Given their formidable challenge, Abigail offered these words of advice, maintaining that haste rarely fosters meaningful solutions.
