Philadelphia June 9. 1795

My dearest Friend

The Senate assembled Yesterday at 11, twenty five Members present. The new Senators were sworn, and a Committee waited on the President who immediately sent a Message with The Treaty, which was read together with Part of a Volume of Negotiations which accompanied it.

Mr. Butler and Mr. Gren arrived last night as I hear so that We shall be very full.

I can form no Conjecture, of the time when the Senate will adjourn. The President, and Lady and Miss Nelly make many kind Enquiries concerning You and Mrs. Smith and Louisa &c. &c.

Your Curiosity I doubt not is all alive. But Mum -- Mum -- Mum.

Inclosed is a misterious Poem for your Amusement.

Yours As ever

J. A.
