Containers:
Box 15, Folder 6
Scope and content:

Perused his poem with pleasure. Adoption of constitution by St. George's state to be means of brining in New York. Otherwise to have rejected it. Supposes North Carolina would have followed example. Enclosed paper to show him state of business in Poughkeepsie. Temporary adoption, conditionally perpetual, seems most likely. Gives him pain to find his opinion respecting brother Nathaniel Tucker corresponds with own first alarms. (1788 July 28). Received accounts of unconditional adoption of constitution by this state. From James? Madison had reason to expect St. George here before this. Directed letter to him from boys Theodorick Bland Randolph and John Randolph of Roanoke. Disbursements for them already about £60. Enclosure missing.
