The subject of amendments was a delicate one, with a view to the ultimate success of any proposition from this State. Propositions of amendment were carried in the H. of Delegates, and finally postponed for present in the Senate, on the idea that the delay might contribute more to the advancement of the object that their adoption immediately. I will forward you a copy of the amendments as soon as I can get them copied.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, a horizontal fold through signature, and some light show-through from writing on opposing sides.
