Note 104 — Monday Sepr 17. 1787. In Convention
Reading edition
"Mr. Blount is a character strongly marked for integrity and honor. He has been twice a Member of Congress, and in that office discharged his duty with ability and faithfulness. He is no Speaker, nor does he possess any of those talents that make Men shine;–he is plain, honest, and sincere. Mr. Blount is about 36 years of age."–Pierce's Notes, Amer. Hist. Rev., iii., 329.
