{"value"=>"Acknowledges Gates's letter recommending a clergyman by the name of Gates, whom he has endeavored to provide for; since the return from exile they have been engaged in reestablishing the tranquility of the church, split into political parties; they had already called four clergymen before learning of Mr. Gates, and no prospect offered in the country parishes; however, he exerted himself to obtain for Mr. Gates the vacant post of chaplain of Congress, and thinks he will be appointed."}
