{"value"=>"They wrote to Congress Oct. 26th from Saratoga; after waiting vainly to hear from Gen. Gates, agreeably to his letter of the 24th, they went on to Ticonderoga, where they expected to share in a repulse of Gen. Carlton, but learned instead that he had evacuated Crown Point; they forward a letter from Gen. Gates; they urged strongly the Massachusetts commissioners to suspend the declaration of their powers until Congress should be advised of this extraordinary step; they purpose to set out on their return next day."}
