in the course of researching one of 50 houses, the adams house my house, my son john, found the letters of misses adams those of abigail. has my family might say, for better or for worse or forever i have been engaged with the family papers in the family and there was no turning back. somehow given my fascination with how and why our nation was cobbled together it is john and abigail and john quincy's version of this riveting story that i have the most -- find the most compelling on hand. and i am not the lone admirer. in the past year or so i heard an eminent historian speak about the papers of john adams which he had edited for the library of america. the other presidents only got one volume a peace. john got four. he was such a splendid writer. he could have been a novelist to which i must add it is obvious that he did not no abigail because he would have thought the same of hers and john quincy abigail to all the world the world knows now but did not then, for so many things always tangled women ought to have the vote and that talented women black swans, she calls them, hot not to b

why john quincy adams? and my answer is just this i met him in the course of getting to know his parents with whom he corresponded faithfully and lengthily and with enormous infection -- affection. unlikely as it may seem i came to abigail and john adams by way of mademoiselle magazine "the new york times" and was writing for vogue. maybe that's a sign from on high high. [laughter] i was at "vogue" magazine and a little bit productively when the then celebrated editor and designer sarah tovar manley called to ask if i would be interested in doing a book on 50 historic houses. the offer had been made to her but she had no time for it on the strength of an article i had written for magazine. she thought the subject would appeal to me and sarah lee was right. in the course of researching one of 50 houses the adams house in quincy massachusetts my son john found the letters of mrs. adams those of abigail's and as my family might say for better or for worse or forever. [laughter] i have been engaged with the fam

as john quincy adams. he was a frigid in ac new englander, but we do have seen his diary can perceive it was really have a hot and passionate nature both talents and intent in his loans. the emotionalism of the diary is indeed one of its most appealing poets. those who have known historians, that is the hitch. unless you have read the unexpurgated version, you cannot possibly know understand or appreciate john quincy adams in full until fairly recently, by far the most influential has been the 15000 page 51 volume. actually a set of diaries compressed by john quincy's son charles francis into 12 volumes of memories published in 1784, which is entirely another work edited under stringent self-imposed guidelines it was quote very clear to charles francis that abridgment was indispensable, otherwise he feared the superabundance of the material with equal in quantity 100 volumes of voltaire. and so charles francis rice, assuming this to be certain it became necessary to fix the will of selection, which should

so i want to end with john quincy adams' diary. historians have said that if you j uft look at john quincy adams' diary you don't really get a good idea about luisa because he doesn't mention her a lot and it is in passing. this is their wedding anniversary. july 26, 1811. he's writing in his diary just for himself and he reflects on their marriage thus far but i want to read you part of it. he says, our union has not been without its trials nor invariably without dissensions between us. there are many differences of sentiment, of taste and of opinions in regard to domestic economy and to the education of children between us. there are natural frailties of temper in both of us. both being quick and irascible and mine being sometimes harsh. but she has always been a faithful and affectionate wife and a careful, tender, indulgent and watchful mother. i have found in this conviction a full conviction that my lot in marriage has been highly favored. and i think that's why they did stay married for 50 years and have a great relationship,

[laughter] he was a great golfer. dad was a good golfer. i'm not a good golfer. at any rate, prescott bush, very successful wall street guy. ends up being the town moderator in greenwich connecticut. so a lot of his buddies were probably drinking martinis and drinking gin at the country club, he's working to help others. i'm confident that set a profound example for dad, and his service set a profound example
