Description
ADAMS, JOHN QUINCY. Autograph Letter Signed, "J.Q. Adams," to George Stillman Hillard, declining an invitation to speak for the Boston Lyceum due to health problems. ½ page, 4to; remnants of mounting along right edge verso, small closed tear at left edge, faint scattered staining, folds. Washington, 27 June 1838 "The invitation to deliver an introductory Lecture to the Boston Lyceum next October is so highly gratifying to me that it is with mortification that I find myself constrained to decline it. Chiefly from a pulmonary weakness, which keeps me in constant and increasing uncertainty whether I can from day to day command the exercise of my voice, and which has already compelled me to decline several other similar invitations."
