322 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
of the best kind, I take the liberty of sending you a
little parcel of it. If the seed proves good, you will
soon be able to determine whether it will flourish
in your climate, and in what soil and situation
best. . . .
Our Legislature has agreed to call a Convention.
The opponents to the proposed Constitution are
nevertheless numerous and indefatigable, but as the
balance of abilities and property is against them, it
is reasonable to expect that they will lose ground as
the people become better informed.
I am therefore inclined to think that the Constitution will be adopted in this State, especially if our
eastern neighbours should generally come into the
measure. Our accounts, or rather calculations from
Massachusetts are favourable but not decisive.
Your favour of the 20th ult. was delivered to me
this morning. The letters which accompanied it shall
be conveyed by the most early and proper opportunities that may offer. Are you apprised that all
American letters, indeed most others, which pass
through the French post-office are opened ? It is the
fact; while in that country I never received a single
one from the office which did not bear marks of
inspection.
The influence of Massachusetts on the one hand
and of Virginia on the other render their conduct on
the present occasion very interesting. I am happy
that we have as yet no reason to despair of either.
Connecticut has decided, and the gazettes tell us that
Georgia has done the same.
