Talking about #gifts !
In the Massachusetts Historical Society collection is an #AlexanderIofRussia #mourningring that was given to #LouisaCatherineAdams . She and her sister Catherine became favorites of the Tsar while John Quincy was the American Minister in Russia.

Lovely #spring weather makes us think of the outdoors!
Currently on display at Massachusetts Historical Society is this May 1819 letter from #LouisaCatherineAdams to #CharlesFrancisAdams about her #garden . She wrote:
“I have got several Horse Chestnuts up and…I look after them as if they were babies”
When #LouisaCatherineAdams and #JohnQuincyAdams lived in #Washington , #Christmas was not the big celebration it is today. More often presents were exchanged on #NewYearsDay . That was also the day when open house festivities were traditionally hosted by the President and his lady.

Thinking of the #naturalworld on these #summer days: #LouisaCatherineAdams enjoyed #gardening in all of the countries in which she lived. She & #JohnQuincyAdams were very fond of #trees . In a letter, Louisa talks about caring for her Horse Chestnut trees “as if they were babies.”

There isn’t a record of how #LouisaCatherineAdams responded to all the portraits painted of her but, upon viewing this #GilbertStuart #portrait of herself in 1826, Louisa wrote, “It looks very much as I looked, like a woman who was just attacked by the first chill of death.”
#LivePerformance tomorrow night (May 9th) of “The Adventures of #LouisaCatherineAdams ” at 7:00pm at Thomas Crane Public Library!
