{"value"=>"Congratulates him on being at home again, where he may expect to remain, as nothing can be gained in the war; feels for poor Rodgers, and wishes he was safe in port with many prizes; fears the disparity in force is too great, and wishes it was a war with France which is not so strong as England; his trip to the wilderness was a fruitless one, as he found neither contractor nor guns to prove; thinks those cast in Jersey were proved five years ago; Lieut. Cassin has sent 18 seamen down; promises a good crew; was about to go to Cape May to arrange for it; the ship Superior from Liverpool with a cargo of £25,000 is detained, but the Collector of Delaware claims her, and has taken the papers from Captain Murray's officer; Mr. Dallas will give a written opinion; had given a verbal one in his favor as acting under the Revenue Law; fears the Collector may be favored, if so he will make a fortune as several other ships following the Superior may be captured."}
