{"value"=>"He wishes every day that fresh instances might be produced in support of Lee's opinion that British sentiment is changed in respect to America; the accounts from the other side are more and more alarming; he thinks well of Lee's advice that the colonies by frugality and industry should convince the ministry that they can live independent of them; he hopes to see associations entered into for that purpose, which must lead the trading people of Great Britain to interpose; Lord Bottetourt opened the Assembly in great state, but on the passing of some necessary resolutions he dissolved them in a passion; Miss Sally Lee desires to hear from him; congratulates him on his marriage with Miss [Hannah Philippa] Ludwell."}
