John Quincy Adams and His Wife Party Ball Invitation as Acting Secretary of State Celebrating the Anniversary of Andrew Jackson's War of 1812 Victory at New Orleans
(MR. and MRS. (JOHN QUINCY & LOUISA) ADAMS). 6th President of the United States
in office (March 4, 1825 – March 4, 1829). Extremely Rare & Historic Ball Party Invitation as Acting Secretary of State to the Historic Celebration on the 9th Anniversary of Andrew Jackson's War of 1812 Victory at New Orleans.
December 22, 1823-Dated, Exceedingly Rare Partly-Printed Document Not Signed, measuring 5” x 8”, 1 printed page with attached Handwritten Integral Address Leaf, no place (Washington, D.C.), Very Fine. Being an official Invitation on quality period watermarked “J. Whatman Turkey Mill 1822” wove stationary, to a party given by John Quincy Adams and his wife. Prior mounting stain to the top and bottom of the address leaf and sealed tear where opened and the printed Invitation is choice and clean in appearance. This important Invitation reads: "Mr. and Mrs. Adams request the favor of Mr. Lawrence's Company, on Thursday Evening, the 8th of January, 1824. -- 22d December, 1823." It is Hand addressed on to: "Mr. Lawrence of New York H. R."
John Quincy Adams was acting Secretary of State at the time of this Invitation, as the 8th United States Secretary of State in office September 22, 1817 – March 4, 1825 under President James Monroe. This Ball was held in honor of the 9th Anniversary of Andrew Jackson's military victory at the Battle of New Orleans. Andrew Jackson actually attended, but President and Mrs. Monroe did not, and Jackson left early to attend another party held in his honor. Both Adams and Jackson were candidates for the Presidency in 1824. There was some talk of an Adams-Jackson ticket that year. So, the two were probably in good spirits when they met face-to-face at this Washington, D.C. social event. Some time later, after the so-called "Corrupt Bargain" of 1824, they became strident opponents. Extremely Rare. Accompanied by a separate printed story regarding this famous Ball from page 278 of THE ADAMS CHRONICLES. (2 items).
