{"value"=>"He is well, in spite of cares; Mrs. Morris brought the two boys with her; he is satisfied with their education and means to place them at the law; they remember Mrs. Gates with affection; he had hoped to see Gates here, it being wrongly reported that he was elected to the convention; regrets that Gates is one of those whose pursuits are interrupted by the general unpunctuality of money payments; Philadelphia and Wilmington are agreeable, but he thinks Gates will fix in the Ten Mile Square as the headquarters for politics and pleasure; the Convention here are hard at work; the event is doubtful, but he predicts that the Constitution will be adopted by Virginia."}
