Letter text, 16 July 1787

Sir,

The reason which moved me, and the only one which could have moved me, to retire from the convention at Philadelphia, not only continues, but i fear is more urgent than it was. the executive, therefore, are desired to consider my letter to governour Randolph, or this, sir, to you, as a resignation of the office which i was deputed ^to sustain in the convention. i have the honour, with undissembled respect, to be,

sir,
your most obedient serv.
