{"value"=>"Acknowledges letter of the 28th ult, and agrees with his observations on faction; after O. H.'s petition for a town meeting in order to make a committee to correspond about grievances, demolish lawyers, and create a new way of administering justice, the selectmen refused to call a meeting; O. H. and Maj. Clark having stirred up the people, the selectmen were all turned out at the late town meeting, and he expects that at the adjourned meeting the committee will be put in effect; it tortures him to see a happy people rush to destruction; inquires as to the slander about his own observations when adjourning court."}
