Constitutional Convention

We have now eleaven States 鈥� and have been every day last week in a Committee of the whole 鈥� in which to sound the sentiments of each other several propositions relative to a general Government have been submitted 鈥� the business was opened by Govr. Randolph of Virginia in an able manner 鈥� & I think there is a prospect that the Convention will agree in a pretty good plan 鈥� 鈥� I do not know that I am at liberty to mention in any manner what the Convention has done 鈥� but to you in confidence I can say that they have agreed I believe unanimously that there ought to be a National Legislative Executive & Judiciary 鈥�
