JAY TO GENERAL WASHINGTON. 321
WILLIAM BINGHAM TO JAY.
DEAR SIR : Philadelphia, Jan. 29, 1788.
I have seen various detached numbers of a periodical
publication under the title of the Federalist, which have
much pleased me, as the author has treated the subject in a
strong masterly manner.
I have heard that it is about to be republished in the form
of a pamphlet, in which case I shall be much indebted to
you for a copy.
The opposition to the new Government in this State
which was confined to a few factious characters, is daily
growing weaker, and it is evident little impression has been
made in favor of their views, by all their laborious
productions.
The friends to the Federal Constitution are much alarmed
at a report that your Legislature are averse to calling a
Convention of the people, to ratify it.
I am happy to find that a Minister has arrived from the
Court of Versailles and that he has brought several of his
family. If they can be reconciled to our simple Republican
manners, they may prove valuable accessions to your society
at New York.
Mrs. Bingham joins me in respectful compliments to Mrs.
Jay. Believe me to be with sincere esteem,
Dear Sir,
Yours,
Wm. Bingham.
JAY TO GENERAL WASHINGTON.

An English gentleman having been so obliging as
to procure for me some rhubarb seed, which from
the account he gives of it there is reason to believe it
