{"value"=>"He finds by [Charles] Paxton that the board are displeased because Swift's last letter was not signed by the deputy comptroller; he has not told them that he did not properly deputize Mushett, and hopes they will not find it out, as he will get a rap if they do; they have taken a prejudice against Swift, which he has vainly tried to remove; with the help of Mr. Thayer's recommendation, he has got [Thomas?] Smith appointed to the whole of the weighing and gauging at Philadelphia; the custom house is to be removed to a more convenient part of the town; other custom-house matters."}
