The notebook records comments by Lancey [Lansing], Patterson, Randolph, Hamilton, Wilson, Madison, Williams, Sherman and Ellsworth.

Page 1 begins "Mr. Lancey [i.e., Lansing]," while the verso continues the text. Page 3 (second item) begins "States respecting finance...." Dated June 16 through July 1787
