TO EDMUND PENDLETON.
MAD. MSS.
Philada. Octr. 9th., 1781.
Dr. Sir,—Having sent you the arguments on one
side of the judiciary question relating to the property
of Virga. seized by Mr. Nathan, it is but reasonable
157
side. With this view, although I in some measure
usurp the task of Mr. Jones, I enclose the paper of
Wednesday last. As it may escape Mr. Jones I also
enclose a copy of Mr. Adams memorial to the States
General. I wish I could have informed you of its being
lodged in the archives of their High Mightinesses
instead of presenting it to you in print.
I am, Dr Sir, etc.
