{"value"=>"He arrived a few days before with a detachment of his regiment and some militia; Gen. [John Philip] Dehaas had come up and had detached sundry parties of militia to protect the people; four fifths of the inhabitants fled with what they could carry; many of the men are returning, but unless he can support four or five posts few of the women will return; the Wyoming settlement is destroyed; the survivors have fled to Connecticut, or are now removing thither as paupers; much can be done for this county [Northumberland]; he desires the part of his regiment in Northampton to join him, and the two Wyoming companies to remain in Northampton."}
