Informs Henry about the health of his children, particularly a daughter who had been ill but is now healthy (see GLC02437.03585), as are Henry's other children. Imagines that Henry's stay at the [Constitutional] convention may be shorter than expected, due to the "Strong parties which exist in Philadelphia, and [which have] pervaded all circles in which you may be." Confirms that he well send subsequent letters to Knox at his lodgings at Samuel Ogden's home. |
