raising of the frigate
Jacobin style
notable phrase
immediately sent to the other printers
asking if Stodder was the author of it
ashamed at seeing the price
building the frigates
any of the yard officers to be the author of this ridiculous piece
account I have seen in the other paper respecting the raising of the frigate is modest and true
suspected it was some of Stodder's nonsence
suppose the frigate business has been discussed
brought to a conclusion
glad to hear as soon as possible what that conclusion is
suppose you have seen an extract from the Maryland journal
