{"value"=>"He was pleased to hear that Polly had recovered; Ephraim Paine and himself have been directed by the Senate to proceed to Congress without delay; he will set out from Paulus Hook in a stage coach for Philadelphia and Annapolis; Gerrit must take charge of his business; they will be furnished with the materials for travelling and appearing in Congress as delegates; Paine has promised to appear with decency, and has been advised to get a wig; he has a letter to the minister from Holland; this will enable him to talk Dutch; the people otherwise are all English, but that will be no great inconvenience."}
