{"value"=>"Acknowledges the receipt of Gates' letter and wishes him many happy days of sweet solace and social happiness with his fair companion [Mary Valence Gates]; Trumbull's brother [John?] being then with him had received Gates' letter and the writer will early convey to Gates, his reply; Congress proceeding slowly with the great business before them; report on finance by secretary of the treasury received much opposition, perhaps too extended and perfect a plan for some minds; trusts it will succeed in most parts; opposite sentiments seem necessary in governments and may be useful in establishing same; useless to trouble Gates with newspapers."}
