{"value"=>"Expresses regret and sympathy for the illness of Mrs. Gates; his absence is felt in the army; there are few officers that have not discovered the rash step they have taken, particularly as the eastern people are crying out against the commutation, or anything that would tend to do justice to the officers; thinks the southern states will do as much as they can for the army; will not enlarge on certain underhand villainy, as he has communicated much of it to [John] Armstrong, who has frequent opportunities of writing to Gates; he showed Gates's first letter to the General, who spoke feelingly and lamented the cause of his delay; the good old Baron almost shed tears; Gates has many friends here; probable arrangement of the army; he would like to see Gates in command at West Point."}
