Description
Mr Booth called with Gates' favor of 11th inst; had Johnson been in the Assembly he should have acted as justice required; his memory of the young gentleman's will is not so particular as he could wish but it agrees with Booth's statement who has not his papers with him; does not see the ground for Mrs. Robinson's pretensions; discusses the probable action of the Assembly on Booth's case, advises the retaining of a lawyer not a member of the Assembly, as much more proper than to have members busied about particular private appropriations; had hoped to have seen Gates this fine fall and will be happy that he can make it agreeable.
