"I have received your letter of 22 ult: and enclose such extracts from my notes relating to the two last days of the Constitution, as may fill in the chasm in the Journals, according to the mode in which the proceedings are recorded."--State Dept. MSS., Miscl. Letters. Later (June 18, 1819) Adams sent him lists of yeas and nays, and he replied (Montpelier, June 27, 1819): "I return the list of yeas & nays in the Convention, with the blanks filled in according to your request, as far as I could do it by tracing the order of the yeas & nays & their coincidency with those belonging to successive questions in my papers."--Mad. MSS. M^r King was ag^{st} any change whatever as opening the door for delays. There had been no official proof that the numbers of N. C. are greater than before estimated, and he never could sign the Constitution if Rho: Island is to be allowed two members that is one fourth of the number allowed to Massts., which will be known to be unjust. M^r Pinkney urged the propriety of increasing the number of Rep^s allotted to N. Carolina. M^r Bedford contended for an increase in favor of Rho: Island, and of Delaware also it passed in the negative. On the question for allowing two Rep^s to Rho: Island, it passed in the negative. N. H. ay. Mas. no. C^t no. N. J. no. P^a no. Del. ay. M^d ay. V^a no. N. C. ay. S. C. no. Geo. ay. On the question for allowing six to N. Carolina, it passed in the negative N. H. no. Mas. no. C^t no. N. J. no. P^a no. Del. no. M^d ay. V^a ay. N. C. ay. S. C. ay. Geo. ay. Art 1. Sect. 10. (paragraph 2) "No State shall, without the consent of Congress lay imposts or duties on imports or exports; nor with such consent, but to the use of the Treasury of the U. States." In consequence of the proviso moved by Col: Mason; and agreed to on the 13 Sep^r, this part of the section was laid aside in favor of the following substitute viz: "No State shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its Inspection laws; and the nett produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any State on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the Treasury of the U. S.; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and controul of the Congress" On a motion to strike out the last part "and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and controul of the Congress" it passed in the negative. N. H. no. Mas. no. C^t no. N. J. no. P^a div^d. Del. no. M^d no. V^a ay. N. C. ay. S. C. no. Geo. ay. The substitute was then agreed to; Virg^a alone being in the negative.
