HAMILTON TO MADISON.
Poughkeepsie, Friday morning, June 27, 1788.
A day or two ago, General Schuyler, at my request, sent forward to you an express with an account of the adoption of the Constitution by New Hampshire. We eagerly wait for further intelligence from you, as our chance of success depends upon you. There are some slight symptoms of relaxation in some of the leaders, which authorizes a gleam of hope, if you do well, but certainly I think not otherwise.
A. Hamilton.
To Hon. James Madison, Jr.
