by Max Farrand

XXXIX. David Brearley to Jonathan Dayton^[1]

Philadelphia, 9th June 1787.

We have been in a Committee of the Whole for some time, and have under consideration a number of very important propositions, none of which, however, have as yet been reported. My colleagues, as well as myself, are very desirous that you should join us immediately. The importance of the business really demands it.
