TO GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Dear Sir,—My last inclosed a continuation of the
Federalist to number 14 inclusive. I now add the
numbers which have succeeded.
No authentic information has yet arrived concerning
the posture of Europe. Reports, with some less
doubtful symptoms, countenance the suspicions of
war.
I understand that the Constitution will certainly
be adopted in Connecticut; the returns of the deputies
being now known, and a very great majority
found to be its declared and firm friends. There will
be more opposition in Massachusetts, but its friends
there continue to be very sanguine of victory. New
Hampshire, as far as I can learn, may be set down
on the right list.
I remain Dear Sir, with the highest respect and the
most unfeigned attachment Your obedient humble
servant.
