Several Gentlemen going to Philadelphia are densious of the honour of being introduced to your Excellency. Among them is Christopher Gore Esqr., a Gentleman of reputation in the profession of Law; and which adds to the worth of his character, a warm advocate of federalism, and of the proposed federal constitution in particular. He will be able to inform you of the favourable prospects we have in regard to the adoption of that constitution by the State of New Hampshire. We have just heard of its adoption by Maryland, on which occasion the bells of the Town are now announcing the publick joy.

It is to be hoped the complete adoption of it is not very distant: in which case the United States may expect to experience the benefits ensuing from a firm energetrick government: on the Felicities of which I hope to congratulate you a century hence, as well as in the course of the present year.

Most affectionately and with the highest esteem, I have the honour to be, dear Sir, Your Excellencys most obedient humble Servant
