It gives the Virginians and the Pennsylvanians time to bond, which will have huge ramifications, and that bonding starts at the home of Philly's most celebrated resident.

It's Wednesday evening, May 16th, 1787.
podcast-host
And right now, half a dozen Virginians, some local Pennsylvanians, and maybe Delaware's George Reed are riding or walking along Market Street between third and fourth streets.
podcast-host
These are the thus far in Philly Convention delegates, and from Market Street, they're turning down an alley to reach a handsome three-story red brick home, the home of Benjamin Franklin.
podcast-host

podcast-host
He returned to Philly in 1785, and since then he's added a three-story wing to his Philadelphian home.
podcast-host

podcast-host

The хол флор
podcast-host
It holds four thousand two hundred seventy six books, and, Ben being Ben, he's invented a mechanical arm to reach those on the highest shelves.

podcast-host

podcast-host
Thomas had previously sent Ben a cask of porter, and this thank you letter will describe the dining delegate's delight in drinking it.
podcast-host
To quote Ben.
podcast-host
So Ben detailed the drink, not the discussion.
podcast-host

podcast-host
As the mostly, if not exclusively, Virginians and Pennsylvanians break bread with the two greatest icons of the revolution, 55-year-old George Washington and 81-year-old Benjamin Franklin.
