It is Said that the Electors in Jersey have been unanimous and those of Pensilvania had but one dissentient.1 I have recd Returns from both but have not opened either. It is Said too from good Authority that Maryland is unanimous.

There is a general Interest taken in my Reelection in such a number of States as affects me. The Utmost Efforts of my 343Ennemies have undoubtedly been exerted, and what success they may have had in Virginia and the States to the southward of it, is uncertain. New York it is expected will show their vain Spite against New England. It is not Antifederalism against Federalism, nor Democracy against Aristocracy. This is all Pretext. It is N York vs N. England.

I am affectionately your Father
