John Adams, from Abigail - "Remember The Ladies"

It was today in 1776, that Abigail Adams wrote to her husband advising him to "remember the ladies" while drafting laws for our new country. Mrs. Adams was a prolific letter writer and held tremendous influence over her future president husband.

While on assignment as foreign minister in Europe, future President Adams acquired at least two sets of French fine porcelain. And, as the very first President to actually live in The White House (then called the "President's House), it is probable that the Adams' Sevres service with the blue cornflowers served as the state china during the administration of President John Adams.

John Adams Heads to England

This is the day back in 1785 that John Adams was sent to England as our Ambassador. While the first war for America's independence had ended, England was not reciprocating, and therefore refused to send their own ambassador to our new country.
