{"value"=>"From Cornet Graeffe, who was permitted to come to this camp to report on the wounded and prisoners of the Brunswick troops, he learns that Gates is very anxious for the release of Col. Ethan Allen, and has proposed to exchange him for Maj. Mayborn and Capt. Bartling; Allen is however under the orders of Sir William Howe, and is looked upon as a state prisoner; offers to exchange American for Brunswick officers; asks that Capt. Fricke and Lieut. Gebhard be allowed to come to this camp for one month; they have acted as paymasters, and are much wanted to settle their accounts; returns thanks for the great care taken of their wounded. Contemporary transcript. Endorsed."}
