"I have patiently as I could endured [3 years of separation] with the Belief that you were serving your Country, and rendering your fellow creatures Essential Benefits. May future Generations rise up and call you Blessed, and the present behave worthy of the blessings you are Labouring to secure them, and I shall have less reason to regret the deprivation of my own particular felicity." —Abigail Adams, Oct. 25, 1777
