{"value"=>"In the letter of his son [Thomas?], laid before them, he requests that provision be made for forty wounded, to be brought from his hospital to this city, and advises that the military hospitals be fixed near water carriage; he himself recommends that the Pennsylvania Bettering House and the provincial hospitals be used for the wounded, and indorses the advice as to water portage; he urges that a director general of military hospitals be appointed, and describes the duties which he should perform; offers himself to fill the place, on condition that he may have the help of his son, who has already distinguished himself in this department."}
