{"value"=>"Acknowledging receipt of Jones's letter of 21st ulto.; his pleasure at the good wishes of his friends; his observations on necessity for good dispositions among the gentlemen of Congress are extremely just; that part of the President's duty which obliges him to nominate persons for office is the most delicate, and in many instances will be to him, the most unpleasing; he will however have the satisfaction of knowing that he enters upon office unconfined by any engagements and uninfluenced by any ties, and that no means in his power will be left untried to find out and nominate those characters who will discharge their duties to the best interest and highest credit of the American Union."}
