TO EDMUND RANDOLPH.
MAD. MSS.
PhiladA., July 15, 1783.
My Dear Sir.,—Yesterday's post brought me no
letter from you. The contents of the inclosed paper
3
for a subject at present. The enquiry into the Mutiny
has not advanced far enough to bring forth any
discoveries. An address is circulating & will be
generally signed by the Citizens here reciting to Congress
the proofs they have heretofore given of attachmt.
to the fœderal Govt. professing a continuance of
that attachmt. and declaring their readiness to support
the dignity & privileges of Congs., in case the conveniency
of this place for transacting the public affairs
sd. give it a preference to others untill a final residence
shall be fixed.
Mr. Lee arrived here the day before yesterday and
goes to Princeton to-day. Mr. Mercer's indisposition
carries him to the Sea board of N. Jersey. My absence
not producing any chasm in the representation
and some private business requiring my stay here, I
shall not return to Princeton for 7 or 8 days.
