{"value"=>"He fears that paper money is hastening into popularity; the vote of Congress upholding the treaty and enforcing payment of British debts is probably a cause of this; a private letter from Gen. Washington shows his reluctance to come from retirement, when there is a danger that all the states may not be represented; he himself thinks the antifederalism of Rhode Island is systematic, and suggests that some kind of approbation of the convention might be obtained even if her members should not attend; Paul C[arrington] is elected; it is said that Congress will return to Philadelphia because of the refusal of New York to grant the impost."}
