Summary
Discusses the ratification of the Constitution and states that [t]hings look pretty well. Though there is an opposition preparing - but I do not think it will be sufficient to answer the intention of some. Lists opponents and supporters of Constitution in Massachusetts, Gov. Hancock [Mr.] Bowdoin & Parson Stillman will be of the convention from Boston - the choice of the latter will undoubtedly be attended with good consiquences in attaching the Baptists. Encloses a letter to Benjamin Franklin (not present) in which he asks for a copy of a speech Franklin made to the constitutional convention in order to publish it.
