{"value"=>"Sees by the papers that the motion for repeal of the Stamp Act was disposed of before the return of his correspondent to Philadelphia; presumes that [Matthew] Lyon has been expelled from the house and sent to Vermont, and that the dispute over foreign intercourse is ended; the General Assembly has finished revising the laws; if buoys are to be placed in the harbor he thinks I. Boss would do it well; commerce is almost suspended in expectation of news from abroad; if any accounts from the commissioner at Paris have been received, he will be glad to hear of them; thinks that [Roger] Griswold will be placed in an embarassing situation if Lyon, \"that beast,\" is not expelled."}
