Note 65 — Monday Sepr 10. 1787 In Convention [65]
Reading edition
"There is said to be a disposition generally prevalent thro' this state to comply with ye plan of ye convention without much scrutiny, Hervey, who has been in Albemarle lately, says yt Nicholas is determined to support it however contrary it may be to his own opinions. I am persuaded that those who sacrifice solid and permanent advantages in this plan, to their idea of the transitory disposition of the people, will condemn themselves hereafter."–James McClurg to Madison, September 10, 1787.–Mad.
