Description
Thinks his correspondent is in the right in his dispute with the Chancellor [Robert R. Livingston], but recommends a compromise, the Chancellor to content himself with one mill and agree to erect no more; represents the gravity of the political situation; the state is governed by two New England adventurers, Ford and Adgate, who make tools of the Yateses and their associates; but for the council of revision, their attempts to subvert the constitution and destroy the rights of private property would have had serious effects; all men of respectability ought to unite in the coming election to put the government into proper hands.
