TO GEORGE WASHINGTON.
On our Journey hither we have fallen in with the
Bearer of the Electoral Votes of Georgia. They are
unanimous as to the President and are all thrown
away on Individuals of the State as to the Vice
President. The Representatives were not chosen
when the Gentleman set out, but the election was to
take place in a day or two after. General Matthews,
he tells us will be one, Mr. Baldwin another, & the
third either Mr. Osborne or Genl Jackson. All the
Candidates I understand are well affected to the
Constitution. In South Carolina the Votes for
Presidt were also unanimous, as the Gentleman informs
and the remaining two not to Mr. Adams.
The badness of the Roads & the weather prevented
our getting to this place sooner than last Evening,
by which means we lose two days. R. H. Lee left
this on his way to New York on Monday morning.
Mr. White had preceded him a day or two.
With the highest respect & mo. affect, attacht,
I am Dr Sir,
