{"value"=>"Nothing new except what is in the joint letter [of the North Carolina delegates in Congress] and the papers sent herewith; they have mentioned the calling a convention in January, but it would better be postponed until May, when they can lay before it a journal of the proceedings of the last Congress as well as of the present; Congress will probably adjourn at Christmas; they grow tired and captious, and need a recess; the Colonies will not agree to any plan of separation until driven to it; fears the time will come soon if the Ministry pursue their diabolical schemes."}
