The imminent statesman Daniel Webster described in this way his last interview with our 2nd President, John Adams: "When I was with him and conversing on the common topics of the day, someone...a friend of his, came in and made particular inquiry of his health. The former President answered, "I inhabit a weak, frail, decayed tenement, battered by the winds and broken in upon by the storms, and, from all I can learn, the landlord does not intend to repair."
