Excerpt from a letter from James Madison to Thomas Jefferson
"The Convention continue to sit and have been closely employed since the Commencement [beginning]
of the Session It is not possible to form any judgment of the future duration of the Session. I am led
by sundry [various] circumstances to guess that the residue [remainder of the work will not be very
quickly despatched (completed]). The public mind is very impatient for the event, and various reports are
circulating which tend to inflame Curiosity. I do not learn however that any discontent is expressed at
the concealment [of the convention's deliberations] and have little doubt that the people will be as ready
to receive as we shall be able to propose a Government that will secure their liberties & happiness.
