{"value"=>"Expresses pleasure at the approval of friends; all that Gates recommended has been carried out; the matter has been in train since the preceding June, varying in one particular only from Gates's ideas; the site of Fort Rosalie being less favorable for a fort, the former administration built one called Fort Adams commanding the river near the southern boundary; there they have silently been making a place d' armes suitable to the number of men in its neighborhood; the most important matter now is to open a land office for the country obtained from the Choctaws; if it were granted in small lots the yeomanry would be able to defend it; if this speck on the horizon blows over, all is smooth water; Monroe leaves in a fortnight."}
