July 9

 A couple days have passed since the passing. On the 5th my dear friend John Handcock, president of the Congress, dispatched the first copy of the declaration to the legislatures of New Jersey and my homestate Delaware. Yesterday, the 8th, was the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence is in Philadelphia. Right now I've just got a message saying that Washington orders that the Declaration of Independence be read before the American Army in New York. Well I guess i'm going on a field trip now blog you later. Bye.
