When did gouverneur Morris join the constitutional convention?

Your question itself demonstrates a lack of concern for real history. It matters little when Morris joined; what matters is what he did at the Convention. That being said, we don't know exactly what dates he was there. If you are looking for his first participation, you will find that he was in attendance the first few days and quickly left. If you are attempting to ascertain when he returned after his June absence, he had major speeches and yet we have no specific record as to when he returned to Philadelphia. The phrasing of your question is moronic; be honest about what you are looking for and you may yet find it.
