{"value"=>"The bearer, Alexander Stewart, commended himself to the writer by his behaviour on Aug. 27th, 1776 [battle of Long Island]; he was then a lieutenant in the Delaware regiment, and though his parents desire that he should enter into the Hospital, he chooses to continue in the military line, provided justice is done to his merit and promotion is secured him according to his former rank in the regiment; Atlee recommends him to the Executive Council in the strongest manner."}
