{"value"=>"They must hope for the best in the matter of the new government; wishes to know if Madison is chosen, and how it is with Mason; he has thought of writing to the latter and to Randolph, to tell them what is to be expected here if the plan does not take effect; the utmost prudence has been necessary to keep things quiet in the Legislature; any one inflammatory move would have done infinite mischief; the publication of the papers sent him by King respecting Rhode Island would have been injurious; everything tending to irritate should be avoided; he and Oliver Phelps have offered the State £230,000 for the western land."}
