{"value"=>"Mr. Tennent and Col. Richardson have just set out on their progress on the north side of Broad river; Mr. Kershaw has come from Camden to continue the progress with him through the fork between Broad and Saluda rivers; gives an account of his progress with Mr. Tennent over the Congaree river to an election, where they had addressed the people with excellent effect, and many had signed the association; had spoken to a German audience, and held an election; Summer and Newfer had passed through on their way to the Fork; encloses affidavit concerning Kirkland, who should be punished; has drawn an order for John Chestnut for £405 in payment for four horses; is glad the committee approves the idea of requiring wagoners to carry their certificates of having signed the association; guards should be placed at the town gates to inspect all wagoners from the Congarees, the fork between broad and Saluda rivers, and Fair Forest."}
