         Mr Wm A. Washington requested that I would get the Organ conveyed to this place, that he might the more conveniently procure a water carriage for it from hence to his House. I send a Cart for this purpose, and if it can be removed in this manner without injury you will oblige me by assisting my Servants with your advice about the proper manner of bringing it. I am Sir Your Obedt Humbl. Servant

I have no doubt but that you will discover some imperfections in it, but when it is considered that it is the child of mutual concessions between States different in Situation and Interest, and that without some Efficient Government we must shortly be involved in Anarchy that certain1 road to Despotism. I think that we should not hesitate concerning its adoption.
