{"value"=>"His favor by Captain Hutchins came yesterday; the paper given Hand by Mr. Hill was some crude notes, drawn up merely to enable the Assembly to put something in favor of the state troops into their instructions to the delegates to Congress; the Assembly begins to grow indifferent with regard to petitions from the army officers; many people talk of emigrating to the back country and governing themselves without regard to state or continental jurisdiction; many officers will probably follow this example; thinks the Assembly will adjourn for a few weeks and publish their proceedings, in hope that some members may be instructed to agree with the changes proposed in the constitution; expects to go to Carlisle if they adjourn."}
