Strength and Inspiration from Abigail Adams

Abigail and John Adams are a great pair. They are incredible examples to us in so many ways. They endured much, gave much, and loved and respected one another immensely. In this letter to her husband, Abigail offers her thoughts in two parts. The first, showing her vim and vinegar, inquiring after political and military affairs while opining on what the new nation's virtues must be and what it should look like in the future. The second, sharing news of the suffering around her and her motherly concerns and wifely affection, all while maintaining her perspective and offering her service to the cause in which her husband, so many miles away, was fully engaged. It is a wonderful letter; human, and honest, and inspiring. Enjoy!
