A goodly portion of the letters that Jefferson wrote, and which remain to posterity, were to Adams.

Jefferson was a very prolific letter-writer (and even invented a device to produce duplicates of the outgoing letters for his own files), so the letters he sent to Adams are probably a pretty small fraction of the total, but they do include some of his most interesting letters. He made one or two efforts to restore communication with Adams before Adams was ready to respond.
