Description
On his return here from Berkeley, he delivered the half joes to Mrs. Holland, and forwarded Gates's letter to Gen. [John] Armstrong; he has written to New York relative to the place on Long Island, formerly the property of Mr. Ludlow; the people look up to the Convention as to their political saviours; some mighty change in the government is expected; sends newspapers by Capt. O'Hara; asks Gates to tell [Edward] Stevens that the piece signed "Legion" never reached his office: he will always be glad to convey Stevens's sentiments to the public eye.
