January 10, 1832
Adams, John Quincy, 1767-1848
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Susan Decatur
Responding to Decatur's letter, Adams will find it "highly gratifying" if he is able to aid Decatur in advancing her claim currently before Congress. Decatur was attempting to secure a pension for service rendered by her husband, Commodore Stephen Decatur, who died in a duel in 1820.
