Adams, John, 1735-1826. ALS, 1805 July 27, Quincy, Mass., to John Trumbull, Hartford, Conn.

Title: ALS, 1805 July 27, Quincy, Mass., to John Trumbull, Hartford, Conn.

Observations on contemporary party politics and on George Washington and the politics of his first administration. A number of old families have turned Democrat to retain their influence; Adams regrets the growing factionalism, which he says is destroying states. In answer to a question from Trumbull, he says that it was political jealousy, especially from Hamilton's faction, that prevented Trumbull from receiving appointment under Washington. He believes that Hamilton's faction used Washington to raise Hamilton, and this has hurt the Federalists with the people. Hamilton was scheming and jealous of everyone, and eventually brought about his own death. Washington "did not know his own heart" and really did not want to retire as he thought and said he did. Trumbull had told Adams that he and David Humphreys wrote Washington's Newburgh Address, and Adams replies that he has always heard that much of Washington's work was written by others and asks who wrote the Farewell Address.

Adams, John, 1735-1826. ALS, 1790 Mar. 12, New York, to John Trumbull.

Title: ALS, 1790 Mar. 12, New York, to John Trumbull.

After praising Trumbull's talents and advising him to ignore detractors, Adams amplifies on his letter of 9 March in which he replied to accusations reported by Trumbull. He traces the history and defends the merit of his family, and says that Americans' preoccupation with family background is worse than Europeans'. He claims that his theory of three independent branches of government, published in January 1776, has influenced all constitutions since. He wishes long life for George Washington, as he does not know who could replace him as president. Adams believes that he himself could beat Jay, Jefferson, or Madison, though he would not run if he thought any of them fit for office. He does not want to run for president since he would be put at the head of his party, a position he does not want. He complains about the salary and other inconveniences of the vice presidency and believes that some difficulties have been created just to make him resign.

Among his papers is a variety of personal and professional correspondence, talks given, and research collected.

Additionally, Harlow researched John Trumbull's epic poem, M'Fingal and the furniture donated to CHS by Frederick K. Barbour. Research was done on portraits of Lemuel Grosvenor and Eleazar Wheelock, both painted by Joseph Steward. The correspondence was between Harlow and many individuals. One of his long-time correspondents was friend and one-time CHS employee, William Warren. Notes from many of the talks Harlow gave may be found within the collection. Some relate to his research topics, and others are about CHS in general. Slides and photographs (some reproduction) are included.

Trumbull family. Papers, 1773-1903.

Title: Papers, 1773-1903.

The collection includes ten interleaved almanacs, for the years 1808, 1809, 1813-1819, and 1822, which contain Joseph Trumbull's accounts and notes. There are two octavo volumes in which Louisa Clap Trumbull kept her "... feelings ... thoughts ... doings and undoings ..." for the period March 1829 to December 1879. The entries are sporadic (sometimes only one or two per year), though some are quite lengthy. Louisa recounts the history of her family, her early life, her present life, the life of her husband, and the lives of her children, as well as their spouses and children. There are also diaries of Louisa Jane Trumbull for the years 1829-1834; 1834-1835; 1836; and 1835-1836. They were kept because her sisters had journals and because her mother wanted her "to write what happens every day." The entries are sporadic and at times state that nothing of importance has occurred. The entries describe the activities and travels of the Trumbull family and their many visitors. There are references to Louisa's brothers and sisters and uncomplimentary comments about the Irish. There is also mention of sickness in the family and the death of her young brother, John Trumbull. The later journals include entries listing what she has read, as well as her reflections on self-improvement. For the year 1841, Louisa Jane Trumbull kept a record of her correspondence in _The Boston Almanac for the Year 1841_ (Boston: Thomas Groom, c1840). She made note of to whom letters were written and from whom letters were received; along with a note regarding the total number of each. The folio volumes include George A. Trumbull's one-volume account book, 1819-1823, in which he recorded the purchase and sale of books and paper supplies. There is also a family ledger kept from 1865-1885, in which is first recorded the income and expenditures of George A. Trumbull until his death in 1868, followed by accounts entered for Louisa Clap Trumbull, probably by her son, John, until her death in 1885. The collection contains miscellaneous papers, including a genealogical chart of the Trumbull family; deeds, bills, indentures, promissory notes, petitions, and correspondence; a photocopy of a typescript list of pictures owned by Dorothy McMahon of Plainville, Mass.; two copies of a photograph of James Henry Lea (1846-1914) made in Germany; a typescript of materials in the Burton Historical Collection at the Detroit Public Library; two autographs of G. A. Trumbull, cashier; and a drawing of land taken from the Trumbull Estate by the Providence & Worcester Rail Road. Most of the legal documents concern family landholdings in Worcester. The collection also contains school copybooks of George A. Trumbull for the years 1801 to 1805 and an inventory of books and stationary bought from Isaiah Thomas, Jr. by George A. Trumbull, dated 1 March 1813. There is a collection of newspaper clippings (e.g., poetry, anecdotes, narrations) and receipts that had been found in George A. Trumbull's account book for the period 1819 to 1823. There are notes on the Trumbull family possessions, including estate inventories of Louisa Clap Trumbull, John Trumbull, Susan Trumbull Price, and Mary Louisa Trumbull Cogswell, along with an inventory of wedding gifts received by Susan Trumbull Price.

Title: ALS, 1805 Nov. 18-Dec. 4, Quincy, Mass., to John Trumbull.

Agrees with Trumbull about the authenticity of Washington's letter about the capture of Cornwallis. Recalls a variety of schemes to replace Washington as commander-in-chief. Adams regrets his ten-year absence in Europe while new young men and Tories were gaining power. Madison's followers support Jefferson to advance Madison's interests, as Hamilton's party backed Washington and other Federalists to raise Hamilton. Washington lived in terror of Hamilton. There are and always have been in each state four parties: Tories, Federalists, Democratical Republicans, and Jacobins.
