{"value"=>"In answer to the objections made to his conduct relative to the Stamp Act, he states that he went to London on private business; by request of the Assembly he assisted the agent of the colony, but received no pay; there is nothing in his letters about a change of government as printed in the New London Gazette; explains his motives in writing to the stamp commissioners; he has always thought that the taxation of America by Parliament was of dangerous tendency, but he supposed the people would submit; the common law courts ought to proceed as usual; he has now left the affairs of distributor, and is determined to take his share with the people in the danger of the matter."}
