{"value"=>"Expecting an answer to their letter of Aug. 18, they deferred communicating the reasons why they suspended the delivery to Congress of the Governor's letter on the subject of revising the Constitution; they now state at length their objections to a revision, and their reasons for thinking that it would not be advisable to hold a convention for that purpose; they desire him to lay their sentiments before the Legislature, and if that body shall then confirm its measures for a revision of the Confederation, they will communicate the same at once to Congress."}
