John Langdon, first president pro-tempore of the Senate, was an early supporter of the Revolutionary War.  He served in the Continental Congress, was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, and served as Senator from 1789-1801.  Following his term in the Senate, he served as Governor of New Hampshire. He writes, in part: "I wrote the 27th June to Nathl. Barrett and inclosed an invoice and bill lading for few small articles, from France in the Washington packet -- you'll please ask N. Barrett if he has shipped them -- If no opportunity first this place, or Boston, the articles may be shipped to Messrs. Wharton & Lewis, Philad."
