{"value"=>"Has just enough strength to write a few lines by Mr. Constable; had arrived with a violent fever which by the care of his Hippocrates has increased to a prodigious degree; trusts to fate and is indifferent as to the result; met with many obstacles in his journey from Baltimore, the freshet having carried away bridges and ferry boats; advises Mr. Laurens to buy horses in Pennsylvania rather than in Halifax where they are much dearer."}
