This month we're publishing The Quotable Abigail Adams, edited by John P. Kaminski. For the book, Kaminski mined Abigail's writings--including letters to friends, neighbors, family and even heads of state--and selected quotations that best embody her wit and wisdom. The selections are arranged by topic, ranging from health, family and religion to travel, foreign affairs and government. As many of the quotations in the book are of a Twitter-friendly length, every Thursday there will be a new thought from Abigail on the HUP Twitter account. And since Abigail signed many of her letters "affectionately yours," we've named this project Affectionately Abigail. You can find yesterday's selection here.
The Quotable Abigail Adams comes two years after My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams, an expanded collection of the letters of John and Abigail that covers the complete span of their correspondence.
