- JOHN ADAMS 2ND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, FREE FRANK ADDRESSED TO
DR. BENJAMIN RUSH IN 1810, John Adams (October 30, 1735 -
July 4, 1826) was an American statesman, diplomat and political
theorist. A leading champion of independence in 1776, he was the second
President of the United States (1797 - 1801). A New England Yankee, he
was deeply read and represented Enlightenment values promoting
republicanism. A conservative Federalist, he was one of the most
influential Founding Fathers of the United States.
Free
Frank folded cover addressed to Dr. Benjamin Rush at Philadelphia and
franked "J. Adams" manuscript noted sent from Quincy [Mass].
Marked "FREE" by Adams and John Adams' name is noted quite
possibly by Rush as the sender vertically to the left of the address.
 Benjamin
Rush (December 24, 1745 - April 19, 1813), a signer of the
Declaration of Independence, was the most celebrated American physician
and the leading social reformer of his time. He was a close friend of
both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson and corresponded with many of the
prominent figures of the revolutionary generation. Rush attended the
Continental Congress. He was also a staunch opponent of Gen. George
Washington and worked tirelessly to have him removed as the
Commander-In-Chief of the Continental Army. Later in life, he became a
professor of medical theory and clinical practice at the University of
Pennsylvania. Despite having a wide influence on the development of
American government, he is not as widely known as many of his American
contemporaries. Rush was also an early opponent of slavery and capital
punishment. Despite his great contributions to early American
society, Rush may be more famous today as the man who, in 1812, helped
reconcile the friendship of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams by
encouraging the two former Presidents to resume writing to each other.
This
cover was sent and signed by Adams during the period Rush was
corresponding with Adams working on the reconciliation of Adams and
Jefferson. Signatures of Adams are quite rare today even scarcer than
Jefferson. Fine..............................$3,950.00
