Review:

"[John and Abigail] wrote to each other as 'dearest friend' with an ardor about each other, a realism about the world, and exaltation of the Revolution, that lifts these 'familiar letters' above anything 'familiar' I can think of in the writings of America's classical leaders." --Alfred Kazin, New Republic "�John and Abigail� wrote to each other as 'dearest friend' with an ardor about each other, a realism about the world, and exaltation of the Revolution, that lifts these 'familiar letters' above anything 'familiar' I can think of in the writings of America's classical leaders." --Alfred Kazin, New Republic
