John Adams wrote a letter to Abigail Adams, telling her that during the break at congress in Philadelphia a delegate mention that they should pray before starting the congress. Many people agree and didn´t agree because of the difference of religion, but they take it in consideration and approve that they should pray by saying a Psalm. The purpose of this letter to John was to communicate to Abigail that she should read and tell to others that Psalm.
"I must confess I never heard a better Prayer or one, so well pronounced. Episcopalian as he is, Dr. Cooper" (John Adams 677). This qoute is an example of the rethorical device appeal to emotion. This rethorical device is important to the letter because it shows the reader how the writter expresses throughly his feelings and it explains the reader that his feelings toward praying is important. "I must beg you to read that Psalm" (John Adam 678). This qoute is an example of the rethorical device of persuasion. We can see that the writter persuades the reader to pray the Psalm, because is great to hear a pray or a bible lecture in the mornings.
