SATURDAY 21 DECR..
The Committee to confer wth. Mr. Livingston was appointed
the preceding day in consequence of the unwillingness of several
States to elect either Genl. Schuyler, Mr. Clymer, or Mr. Read the
Gentlemen previously put into nomination, and of a hint that Mr.
L. might be prevailed on to serve till the spring. The Committee
found him in this disposition and their report was agreed to without
opposition.[20]
