![]() | Adams Family Correspondence, Volume 12 Volume 12 of Adams Family Correspondence , with 276 documents spanning from March 1797 through April 1798, opens with the inauguration of John Adams as president and closes just after details of the XYZ affair are made public in America. Through private networks of correspondence, the Adamses reveal both their individual concerns for the well-being of the nation and the depth of their public and political engagement with the republic. Abigail's letters to friend and foe demonstrate the important role she played as an unofficial member of the administration. John Quincy and Thomas Boylston's letters from The Hague, Paris, London, and finally Berlin offer keen observations about the political turmoil in France and its consequences, the shifting European landscape as a result of the war, and court life in Berlin following the coronation of Frederick William III.
