XI. Benjamin Franklin to Richard Price.^[1]

Philada, May 18, 1787.

We have now meeting here a Convention of the principal people in the several States, for the purpose of revising the federal Constitution, and proposing such amendments as shall be thoroughly necessary. It is a most important business, and I hope will be attended with success.
