332 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
report for further information respecting our proceeedings
we have only to repeat our sincere wishes that yours may
meet with the success they deserve. I am, with great
respect, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and most humble Servant,
Granville Sharp,
Chairman of the Committee/
GENERAL WASHINGTON TO JAY.
Mount Vernon, May 17th, 1788.
Dear Sir:
I am indebted to you for your favors of the 20th and
24th ult. and thank you for your care of my foreign letters.
—I do the same for the pamphlet you were so obliging as to
send me.—The good sense, forceable observations, temper
and moderation with which it is written cannof fail, I
should think, of making a serious impression even upon the
antifcederal mind where it is not under the influence of such
local views as will yield to no arguments—no proofs.
Could you conveniently, furnish me with another of these
pamphlets I would thank you, having sent the last to a
friend of mine.
Since the elections in this State little doubt is entertained
of the adoption of the proposed Constitution with us (if no
mistake has been made with respect to the sentiments of
the Kentucky members).—The opponents to it I am informed
are now also of this opinion.—Their grand manoeuvres were
exhibited at the elections, and some of them, if report be true,
were not much to their credit.—Failing in their attempt to
exclude the friends to the new Government from the Convention, and baffled in their exertions to effect an adjournment in Maryland, they have become more passive of late.
Should South Carolina (now in session) decide favourably*
and the government thereby (nine States having acceded)
