{"value"=>"He has been ordered to attend particularly to the fleet, but he cannot get a man to go on board because of the capture mentioned before; asks for written authority to send persons for intelligence, with leave for them to take things on and off, both as a reward and an excuse for mixing with the enemy; asks Stirling to cover his spy, Jo. Wardel, from the present ill-timed arrest, and to order the man's goods to remain with him."}
