Miles King to James Madison (March 3, 1789)

I hope Congress will take up the Amendments proposed. by the States and do What is Necessary without there being a New Convention, I think Many of the Amendments are good & Necessary, but the great point of Direct Taxation will be of the Most Importance, When your Body Meets together and they should think it best for Congress to Retain that, I am perfectly Satisfyd. they Should Retain it2 I am very Willing to trust them, but Many of the Opposers to the Government will not agress Congress should have that power.
