Autograph letter signed

Title: to Elbridge Gerry re: people's perspective of the Constitution

"When we begin to practice on a constitution like that which is now before us, we should have men in the administration, who, from principle and habit, are firmly attached to the liberties of the people and the rights of the particular states... I am not able to determine what proportion of the people in this country are in favor of the Constitution." Docketed by Gerry.
