On Feb. 19, 1776, John Adams wrote to British-born American General Charles Lee a letter "to introduce to your Acquaintance a Country man of yours and a Citizen of the World, to whom a certain Heretical Pamphlet called Common Sense, is imputed. His Name is Paine. He is traveling to N. York for his Curiosity and wishes to see a Gentln, whose Character he so highly respects."
