Summary
Autograph Draft. Jay feels he must take lodgings at Philadelphia, since his continued attendance at the court requires visits too frequent for Adams' hospitality. Sarah Jay will not accompany him since she is pregnant and expects to deliver in April. Although Senate proceedings are closed, "a certain motion has found its way out. I am not pleased with it. If that Encroachment should take place, no man will in my opinion be able to administer the Govt with Reputation to himself, or advantage to the public."
