{"value"=>"Acknowledges his recommendation of Dr. [Samuel] Boyd; the latter has a strong passion for the army; as there is great lack of medical aid, he means to appoint him temporarily a surgeon's mate at one of the advanced posts; the overtures for peace are not to be relied on; good men have been offered up to satisfy the clamors of the East; believes the next attempt will be favorable; the enemy is pushing his petit guerre, but Wilkinson has not allowed him to gain any advantage; has forwarded twenty convoys to the advanced posts, and even ventured a little offence by pursuing a party fifty miles and recapturing horses stolen from the rifle corps; had he the liberty and the power, he would drive them away from their nearest residence by desultory excursions."}
