{"value"=>"Acknowledges letter of Jan. 21; Maj. [Henry Middleton] Rutledge informs him that on Jan. 10 his father [Edward Rutledge] was stricken with an apoplectic fit; Drs. Irvine and Barron attended, and gave hope of his recovery; Rutledge was much affected by accounts of the death of Washington, and to this cause the attack is attributed; requests that John Rutledge jr. be acquainted with the news; the government of France is a military despotism; it was absurd to attempt the establishment of a republic among such a people; a republic might have succeeded in Germany, had Europe not been alarmed at the monstrous example of France; respects to Mrs. Read."}
