Further discussion on the division of the territorial records was had before the question was given to the Special Committee of Chairmen. The Committee on Militia Property presented their report and the report of the Adjutant General. The Special Committee of Chairmen then presented a complete draft of the Articles of Agreement which were read, discussed and amended article by article before it was referred back to the committee for engrossment.
[The Convention requests that Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Purcell draft two articles with regard to the territorial debts and liabilities the respective States shall assume, which shall be reported, one to each Convention.]
