Abstract
Discussing status and proceedings in several legal suits; the removal of Congress appeared to him an act of some levity but he is not much agitated about it; the conduct of late political opponents mighty inconsistent; the Child [the Federal party?] which lately received their servile adulation, had made rapid progress to manhood in its residence in the present capital; they may hope it would flourish best in its native city [Philadelphia?] there attaining the stature of a giant under the auspices of its immaculate godfathers [James?] Wils[on] & [Robert?] M[or]r[i]s which he believes is the object of the Federal Gentry.
