TO GEORGE WASHINGTON.
WASH. MSS.
New York, Decr. 26, 1787.
Dear Sir,—
I am just informed by a Delegate from New Hampshire
that he has a letter from President Sullivan
which tells him that the Legislature had unanimously
agreed to call a convention as recommended, to meet
in February. The second wednesday is the day if I
have not mistaken it. We have no further information
of much importance from Massachusetts. It
appears that Cambridge the residence of Mr. Gerry
has left him out of the choice for the Convention, and
put in Mr. Dana formerly Minister of the U. States
in Europe, and another Gentleman, both of them
firmly opposed to Mr. Gerry's Politics. I observe too
in a Massts. paper that the omission of Col. Mason's
objection with regard to commerce in the first publication
of his objections, has been supplied. This
will more than undo the effect of the mutilated view
of them. New Jersey the Newspapers tell us has
adopted the Constitution unanimously. Our European
intelligence remains perfectly as it stood at the
date of my last.
With the most affectionate esteem & attachment
I am, Dear Sir, Your Obedient & very hble servt..
