All which I find has a good Effect on the minds of those members of Congress and many of them have told me they are Glad that New York State have shewn such a Spirit of Goodness and Justice to those Subjects ; and they are satisfyed and believe Congress in General are satisfyed intirely of the Equity and Justice of Administration toward them people ; and numbers of them Delegates have been so plain in their Sentiments to me in the matter as to say frely it is high time Vermont was broke up and it was a Grate pitty Congress had not resolved against them before things had Got to this Length with then--
But nevertheless I find those Sentiments are not the Sentiments of some other Delegates of Congress they think more favorably
of Vermont and I believe if it were possible with aney appearance .
of Justice or Honour some of them are so in favor of them people that they would be Heartily Glad they were Established a seperate State--However astonishing it is to consider of, yet I verily believe it is their Sincere minds to Let them be a State-- And therefore I expect nothing Else but a Grate Decision in

Congress upon the Subject when it Comes upon the tryal by the yeas & noes.
However I believe they In General think it wont Do by aney means for Congress to omit interposing now things are got to their High pitch of Confusion.
