" I think there is not a doubt that the Convention which is to meet here in November, will adopt the Constitution—the amendments will do the business.
" The season has been remarkably forward.— Flax-seed began to be brought in so early as July. —The crops of tobacco and wheat are very great.
" This State is settled by persons from all quarters, and many who come from the eastward fall victims to the climate, but then it is more owing to their own folly—they take care of themselves for a time, and then fall off to intemperance, which soon puts them under ground.—Four young men have died martyrs to rum, within a little while."
