Supposing that a Gentleman who had so much Curiosity respecting the natural Productions of our Country, may have some respecting its political Productions, I send you enclos’d a Copy of the new federal Constitution propos’d by the Convention of all the States lately held in this City. It is a singular Thing in the History of Mankind, that a great People have had the Opportunity of forming a Government for themselves. This Plan is now to be submitted to the Consideration of separate State Conventions, and probably will be adopted by most if not all of them.

I hope that after all your Peregrinations you got safe home to your Country, and that this will find you well and happy in your own Habitation. With great Esteem and Respect, I am, Dear Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
