Description
Acknowledges letter from John Harvey enclosing resolve of the Convention; the present distracted state of the country has been brought about by designing men, whose grants from the Indians are likely to meet with opposition from Virginia; a memorial has been circulated praying Congress for a new government west of the mountains; some have said that the Convention has no right to frame laws, that they would refuse obedience, and that Virginia had no charter; others have said that if Congress refused the petition they would move westward with 20,000 families; Capt. John Nevil, John Campbell and himself have opposed this; refers the Committee to Campbell, who bears the letter.
