Discusses the recent election for senator, in which George Cabot won the seat against Tristram Dalton. Writes that he wished Dalton had won, but "The House were determined to make a change and used every art to effect it... I wish'd for Mr. D to be continued but as that could not be effected I am glad that Mr Cabot has succeeded in preference to the other candidates."
