David Humphreys to Alexander Hamilton, September 1, 1787

From David Humphreys
To Alexander Hamilton
September 1, 1787

David Humphreys informs Alexander Hamilton about a politically charged letter circulating in Connecticut, likely produced locally and embraced by Loyalists. Humphreys discusses efforts to trace its origin and suggests the letter may have been written to gauge public apathy toward government. He also notes attempts by Federalist supporters to use the letter to alarm Anti-Federalists into accepting the Constitutional Convention's outcomes.
