Washington is concerned about the Society of the Cincinnati meeting in Philadelphia at the same time as the Convention. The Society is a veteran's organization and there is a concern that the members of the organization exert influence to promote an American aristocracy or a military government. The issue is especially important to Washington because he is a member of the Society of the Cincinnati.
