Speculates on the possible adoption of the Constitution by Virginia and New York: I don't believe [George] Mason and old [William] Grayson will be very influential in Virginia- and hope the exertions of the Federalists will continue to be industrious in New York for as I came thro E & W Chester I found the Antis had been busy and too successful. Further relates his views on whether New Hampshire will adopt the Constitution. Discusses reports that Bermuda will become a garrison for the British. In a post script, refers to his attempts to send a delegate in his place (possibly to Congress), but can not afford one.
