This is a one page letter signed by former 6th U.S. President John Quincy Adams, then serving in his role as Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee of Manufactures

Adams addressed this letter to “Duff Green Esqr. Printer to Congress,” no doubt wishing Green to print the letter and prepare it for wider circulation among U.S. Congressmen. In part:
“Sir I am directed by the Committee of Manufacturers to enclose to you a Copy of the Resolution of the House referred to them by the House on the 11th instt. and to request the information which will be necessary to enable them to report thereon to the House. I am, with Respect, Sir your obedt. Servt. J.Q. Adams. Chairman of the Committee of Manufactures.”

Adams served as the Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Manufactures from 1831-1841, and from 1843-1847, concurrent to his time as a Congressman from Massachusetts, from 1831-1848. The Committee on Manufactures, separated from its predecessor organization the Committee on Commerce and Manufactures in 1819, was tasked with regulating issues pertaining to the “manufacturing industries.” As congressional records indicate, this usually meant discussing duties on consumer goods and imposing tariffs to protect the domestic economy. John Quincy Adams’s distinctive spidery handwriting is believed to appear throughout the docket books for the 23rd-28th Congresses, testifying to his hands-on manner of chairing the committee.
