{"value"=>"To Alexander Hamilton [Philadelphia]. Replying to a confidential letter of Nov. 20th he gives his ideas of the candidates for the office of district attorney; [David] Howell is unpopular, and it is thought that his connection with certain mercantile houses in Providence might bias him in case of a dispute between them and the United States; he would prefer [David Leonard] Barnes; as for a third candidate who might be agreeable to both of the political parties, he suggests Ray Greene, who is popular, a stanch federalist, and promises to make a handsome figure at the bar."}
