Book Description
Writes that two days prior he sailed to New Haven to see Mr. Gouverneur Morris, and returned last night. Also met with Colonel [Jeremiah] Wadsworth, to discuss business (a plan Wadsworth was working on with Robert Morris to loan money to Congress - see GLC02437.003314 and .03318). Writes, He appears to think [well] of the efficacy of the proposed plans, and will I am persuaded engage in it on proper principles. Could not convince Wadsworth to return with him to New York, since Wadsworth is a member of the Legislature and needed to remain in town. Will come to New York within the next few days, and has asked Knox to request that Mr. Gouverneur Morris will meet with Wadsworth at that time. Is extremely anxious to make sure that the meeting happens, as all other arrangements [strikeout] are suspended in the mean time.
