{"value"=>"Has endeavored to determine the question asked in his letter of the 21st; Mr. Randolph lived in a private house while at Newport, but there was no communication between his rooms and those of the family; Fauchet and his suite lived by themselves in a house hired by the French vice consul; no information could be asked from the latter; there is no doubt that Randolph was in private communication with Fauchet, but it cannot be proved; the certificate must have been drawn up before Randolph went on board the Medusa, as, according to Capt. Gardner, he was on board only an hour and a quarter; Fauchet is reported to have said, at a dinner, that only men of no fortune or influence were on the side of France; that Hamilton and others near the President were honest, but that Randolph was a rascal; thinks Randolph has only injured his character by his Vindication, but has added to the reputation of the President. Draught, with many erasures and corrections."}
