Reports that he had dinner with Mr. Morton and learned that house rents will be high this year. Called on William Duer yesterday who reported that Billy Morris was directed by Mr. C. to make the written report he did respecting the Eastern lands. Duer claimed that Morris had given a favorable report in the past, but he is not surprised as this trick had been practiced more than once by the same parties. Writes, People in general here appear to be sorry at your intention of retiring (which I have neither confirmed or denied) it is universally circulated - and it was last night mentioned that Mr. [Alexander] Hamilton had concluded to do the same. Continues the letter on 26 January and reports seeing Governor William Paterson in Brunswick, New Jersey. Says he observed that the Southern opposition to Government would end in nothing. Paterson said he would hold out the prospect of separation with them, which would scare them and bring them back to reason. Free stamped on address leaf with no signature.
