I am at length arrived at Trenton after a tedious passage of almost three weeks, occasioned by Storms & Contrary Winds.

   Only four States are represented here viz Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia & Masstts. The Delegates of North Carolina & Pensilvania are expected this evening, which with New Jersey will make a Congress. Who will be President, a few Days will probably determine. For my own part I dont know who is thot of. Mr. W -- -- n(1) (noted for his Bravery) probably thinks of himself, but he is generally singular in his oppinion. R. H. Lee is here, whose Character rather intitles him to his Country's Notice. Colo. Mercer is also here, who talks much of going on with the publick Business, with temper & good humour!!!

   I wish that you would inform me where the papers of the Delegates were deposited. If you took them home with you, I hope you will come soon & bring them, or at le[a]st, I hope you will be here at the time you talked of.

   I am with the highest esteem your friend & humbl Servt,

    Geo Partridge

   [P.S.] I expect an effort will be made to remove Congress to Phila.
