Argues that the political system currently in place is inadequate: The powers of Congress are utterly inadequate to preserve the balance between the respective States, and oblige them to do those things which are essential for [strikeout] their own welfare or for the general good. Believes that all states are at odds with each other, at odds with the central government, and at odds within themselves. Comments that the political machine works against the public interest, especially regarding taxes. Writes, we have arrived at that point of time, in which we are forced to see our own humiliation as a nation and that a progression in this line cannot be productive of happiness either private or public - Something is wanting - and something must [struck: be obtained] be done, or we shall be involved in all the horror of faction and civil war, without a prospect of its termination. Has reason to believe there will be war with the Indians in the frontier, and explains that more troops will be added in the region. Also adds his sadness at the recent death of General [Nathanael] Greene, and his happiness at the birth of another daughter. He and his wife send their love to Washington and his wife.
