Summary
Thanking him for his help in Middleton; saying that "you will perceive that the second alteration in the Suffrages after the Creed is left for [illegible] consideration. I was willing the Convention at Philadelphia should be over before we proceeded any further, as I have been informed they have some jealousy to the Southward of the New England States, in Ch[ur]ch as well as civil affairs."
