all ready to vote on it. June 10, con-
gress postponed final consideration for
3 weeks. June IL, congress appointed
Declaration of independence. Lee
would naturally have been made chair
man, but he had been called home by
the Illness of his wife. Thomas Jeffer-
son of Virginia was made chairman
and his colleagues were John Adams
Of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin
of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of
Connecticut and Robert L. Livingston
of New York. The committee in
structed Jefferson to write out draft
of the Declaration. Jefferson did so.
The committee made some changes
and Jefferson then made clean copy.
Congress reassembled July 1, and the
Lee resolution was passed July 2.
How this action was then regarded is
shown by John Adams letter to his
wife, in which he said:
'The second day of July, 1776, will
be the most memorable epoch in the
history of America. 1 am apt to be-
lieve that it will be celebrated by sue
ceeding generation as the great ami
versary festival. It ought to be COM
memorated as the day of deliverence
by solemn acts of devotion to God
Almighty. 1t ought to be solemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, bells, bonfres, and IL
Elimination from one end of this con-
tinent to the other, from this time
forward fOrevermore'
Jefferson then presented the report
of the Declaration committee, the docu-
ment now known as the Declaration
of Independence. 1t was adopted the
afternoon of July 4. John Hancock
as president of the congress, affixed
his signature. Charles Thompson
countersigned as secretary. 1t was
then printed and sent off to the sew.
eral colonies. July Is, the clerk was
instructed to prepare the document fol
signatures. Properly engrossed, it was
signed by all who were present-5(
members. Others signed in Septem
Der and one member, Colonel Mexican
did not sign until 1871. Seven mem
bers, for one reason or another, never
did sign it.

to receive it's Declaration of Inde
