Title: [Document, 1787 May 12]
Abstract: A contest is being held in Congress concerning moving the seat of government to Philadelphia; as a result other pressing matters are ignored. Read book Adams sent him. Cannot agree with Adams that the "great Council" of the U.S. is efficient, rather he thinks it inadequate as now constituted.
