{"value"=>"He has received no letter from Clinton since that of Apr. 6th.; he wrote Sept. 26th by Major [David Solebury?] Franks; rumors have come that Cornwallis's lines have been carried and himself killed, also naval successes; Fort St. Philip is still besieged; he expects another campaign; Great Britain can be delivered from her delusions only by repeated defeats; he is pleased to hear that G[ouverneur] Morris will be in the delegation this fall; valuable men, especially young ones, should be cultivated; he desires news of his father's family. A postscript, dated Dec. 11, congratulates him on the surrender of Cornwallis."}
