New-York, August 20, 1787.
Dear Sir:
Since my arrival here, I have written to my colleagues, informing
them if either of them would come down, I would accompany him to
Philadelphia; so much for the sake of propriety and public opinion.
In the mean time, if any material alteration should happen to be made
in the plan now before the Convention, I will be obliged to you for a
communication of it. I will also be obliged to you to let me know when
your conclusion is at hand, for I would choose to be present at that
time.
