JAY TO JOHN ADAMS. 255
no assistance from me in forming the best possible plan, but
they may have occasion for under-labourers to make it
accepted by the people, or at least to make the people unanimous in it, and contented with it. One of the under-
workmen, in a cool retreat, it shall be my ambition to
become. With invariable esteem and affection,
I am, dear Sir,
Your most obedient servant and real friend,
John Adams.
JAY TO JOHN ADAMS.
Office for Foreign Affairs,
Dear Sir : 3d October, 1787.
I enclose a copy of the federal government recommended by the Convention, and which has already
passed from Congress to the States. What will be
its fate in some of them is a little uncertain ; for
although generally approved, an opposition is to be
expected, and in some places will certainly be made
to its adoption.
There are now but nine States represented in Congress, and unless that number should continue there
for some weeks, much business, and particularly in
the Department of Foreign Affairs, will remain unfinished. There is much to be done, and I am apprehensive that much will be left too long undone ; for
the expectation of a new government will probably
relax the attention and exertions of the present.
With great and sincere esteem and regard, I have
the honour to be, dear sir,
Your most obedient and humble servant,
John Jay.
