You expressed a Desire of Knowing what reception the Conventional Government would meet with in Congress, & whether there was a Prospect of its passing thro' the necessary Formalities in Congress, previous to the Adjournment of our legislature.

   It was yesterday received & read in Congress,(1) & Wednesday next fixed as the Day for its Consideration. If I had been present, I Should certainly have opposed its Postponement to So distant a Day. As from Enquiry I find that every State on the Floor of Congress is disposed to adopt it, I will endeavor to bring on the Question immediately. I Shall urge as an Argument the favorable Disposition of our Assembly, which is now in Sessions. I will inform you of the result, as Soon as possible.

   I am with Regard, D Sir, Your obedt hble serv, Wm Bingham
