Description
Has been delayed in replying to Gates' letter of Jan. 14; has forwarded letter for Mrs. Thompson to the postmaster at Albany with instructions to send same forward; Dr. [John] Rodgers and lady speak highly of Mrs. Thompson; no need to apologise for asking favors; has received a letter from Dr. [William] Gordon who was up to the eyes in business delivering his history [History of the Rise. Progress and Establishment of the Independence of the United States of America (N. Y., 1789); his style heavy and unanimated; sends abstract of index as to the part relating to Gates; discusses Thompson's affairs; no Congress in session as yet this federal year, quorum expected that day; new Constitution takes place on Wednesday; a very elegant building just erected for Congress, for which the inhabitants [of New York] were taxed £13,000, a second tax expected; seems clear that General Washington will be President and John Adams Vice President of the Union; sends respects to Mrs. Gates.
