scrap of MS. in the handwriting of John Dickinson, with footnotes in
the handwriting of his daughter, Sarah Norris Dickinson, is in the
possession of Mr. William Redwood Wright of Philadelphia. It was
furnished to the editor through the kindness of Mr. Albert Cook Myers.
While this volume is in press, the ninth and last volume of Gaillard Hunt’s Writings of James Madison has appeared with three items which the editor would gladly have incorporated in the present work. The omission is of little real consequence, however, as the substance of all of these items is embodied in other letters of Madison included in this appendix. The significant portion of one item, a matter of punctuation, has been inserted in a foot-note to CCCLXXII.
- ↑ For the formation of the Federal Constitution.
- ↑ The Senate.
