John Thaxter to John Adams
Sir Amsterdam 16th July 1781

I have the honor to inclose You the 23d. No. of the Politique Hollandais.1

I have this moment heard of your safe arrival, and of your good 181health and Spirits, which is a vast addition to my happiness. I had a hint of your visit at Paris, and altho' some Folks are surprized at the peculiar Nature of it, yet I am persuaded that Chaleur and froideur can exist politically, if not naturally, together.

I have the honor to be, with the most respectful Attachment, Sir, your most humble Servant, John Thaxter
