June 31, 1788.
Inclosed is the final result of our conventional deliberations. The
intended address of the minority proved to be of a nature apprehended
by me. It was rejected by the party themselves, when proposed to them,
and produced an auspicious conclusion to the business. As I shall set
out in a few days for New-York, I postpone further explanations. I have
this instant the communications from New Hampshire via Poughkeepsie;
also, your two favors of the 19th and 20th.
Yours, affectionately,
J. Madison, Jr.
