ⅭⅩⅣ. Edmund Randolph to Beverley Randolph.^[1]

Phila., Sept. 18, 1787.

I do myself the honor of forwarding to the executive a copy of the national constitution. Altho’ the names of Colo. Mason and myself are not subscribed, it is not, therefore, to be concluded that we are opposed to its adoption. Our reasons for not subscribing will be better explained at large, and on a personal interview, than by letter.
