{"value"=>"Instead of presenting an account for services as an agent of the State in the controversy with Massachusetts, and as a delegate to Congress, he only states facts and leaves it to the Legislature to take such action as they may think fit; he set out for Trenton Nov. 14 [1784]; arrived Nov. 16; few members being then present, he went to Philadelphia; returned on the very day a quorum was formed, though after they had adjourned for the day; served until Dec. 21, when he entered upon his present office [Secretary for Foreign Affairs]; he attended at intervals, as occasion required, and kept no record."}
