Description: New Letters of Abigail Adams 1788-1801 IN 1942 the American Antiquarian Society acquired a collection of two hundred and fifty letters written by Abigail (Smith) Adams, wife of the second President of the United States, to her sister Mary, who was married to Richard Cranch, of Braintree. These letters came from the estate of William G. A. Turner, of Maiden, Massachusetts, having been inherited from Mary Greenleaf Dawes, the great, great granddaughter of that Mary (Smith) Cranch to whom all but one of the letters printed herewith were addressed.! It is interesting to note that sixteen letters, written by Abigail (Smith) Adams to her sister, Mary (Smith) Cranch, were included in the large, if strictly edited, collection of Abigail Adams letters which were published iri 1840 by her grandson, Charles Francis Adams (1807-1886). Just why the letters now published were left in: manuscript at that time may (or may not) be a mystery.^
