{"value"=>"His very friendly letter of Dec. 11, delivered by Mr. Simpson who received it from Mr. Quincy, gave him great pleasure; thinks Wendell will be delighted with the President's message, in his opinion, the chef d'a'uvre of American politics; as regards Gallatin of whom he has no personal knowledge, cannot conceive that his being a foreigner was a reasonable objection to his appointment as a financier; no nation requires this officer to be a native; lauds Gallatin's character; instances the jealous federalists' approval of Alexander Hamilton's appointment to same position, Hamilton being not only a foreigner but, as is said, the natural child of a British major."}
