Written as ambassador at The Hague, Adams discusses waiting for his family to arrive and how walking six or seven miles per day has helped him overcome the "Disorders into which Voyages Journeys and too much application had thrown me." He concludes by mentioning Mr. Tyler, who was involved with courting a woman. Cranch was the husband of Abigail Adam's sister; Adams greets him as "dear brother."
