CALENDAR OF MR. SAMUEL ADAMS
FOR THE YEAR 1789 A.D.
Summer
Whilst not engaged in attending session of the National Assembly, Adams maintains a prolific correspondence with allies in all quarters of the country, and especially New England. While the Independent Courier remains the principal organ of the Whig interest in Massachusetts, with circulation throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic, Adams likewise encourages the formation of party organizations in the States north of the Mason-Dixon line, as well as Delaware. Surrogates see that the public remains informed of Adams' position on the questions facing the government and Adams himself keeps the papers well supplied with his speeches in the National Assembly. While in Philadelphia, he worships with several of the city's many denominations, including the Religious Society of Friends. The last week of July and the month of August he returns to Massachusetts, to attend to his affairs in Boston and his constituency of Middlesex.
Autumn
Adams continues his work in the National Assembly and assumes his new role as Secretary of Foreign Affairs in the Cabinet. Much of his time in this new role is spent in correspondence with the U.S. ambassadors to France and the Netherlands, regarding trade and the political situation in Paris. Allies continue the work of forming party organizations, while a small delegation of surrogates travel to the Republic of Vermont to discuss its admission to the Union (and build support for the Whig faction there).
