Description
Only five states represented in Congress as yet; when Pennsylvania and Connecticut arrive, a quorum will be present; he thinks it strange that Congress has no official information of the Algerian war; has heard that it was doubtful whether the General Court would "pass an act complying with the Requisition, because the affair of the old money" is unsettled; claims of other States are more important than those of Massachusetts; "whenever the last are settled, the Old Emission, & Penobscot, will be connected.".
