{"value"=>"He is on his way to join the Southern Army with the First Light Dragoons; owing to the difficulty in procuring forage and provisions he cannot make more than fifteen or twenty miles a day without killing up his horses; the regiment has marched nearly seven hundred miles since the last of May; unless he meets with a commissary he will have to take what he wants and give certificates, which the people call genteel stealing; Col. [Richard] Parker is twenty miles in the rear with a regiment of foot."}
