Reports on congressional proceedings. Discusses the "political condition of South America," specifically endorsing American policy towards the "independent provinces of Rio De La Plata." Also mentions that "the Massachusetts claim was called as the order of the day" and since it did not receive any aid from the republicans the federalists decided that the claim would be given "a 'go by' for the present." Reminds Hobart to send him the name of someone other than D. Lane who might be interested in receiving documents from him of interest to Republicans in Abington, Massachusetts.
