{"value"=>"Acknowledges letter of Nov. 12th with affidavits relating to the misbehavior of the troops; he carried them to Lord Hillsborough, who said he had already seen those from Gov. Pownal; thinks the latter is under the influence of that nobleman; he has now put the affidavits into the hands of a nobleman who is an invariable friend to the colonists; expresses sympathy with their position; they are grossly misrepresented, while misconduct of the officers and the military is always diminished; he hopes that they will persevere in cool and moderate measures, and demonstrate that the troops are needless."}
