{"value"=>"He is greatly concerned to learn that Col. McIntosh is ordered to join the main army unless the Long Island expedition can be accomplished in a few days; the friends to the cause in Long Island are much distressed, and many will be forced into the British army; besides, the whaleboats are on the way and other preparations are making by order of Gov. Trumbull; unless the two regiments are absolutely needed in the army, he begs that the expedition be allowed to go on."}
