{"value"=>"Reports his safe arrival, the season too far advanced for his West India constitution to permit him to visit Van Rensselaer; the Delaware being more closely watched by British frigates than this bay, he has concluded to reside here as better for business than Philadelphia; peace seems still distant though the people in England wish for a connection with us; their late success and the fall of the Rockingham party would prolong the war; invites Van Rensselaer to entrust him with business; quotes current prices."}
