{"value"=>"New Jersey is at length rid of the enemy; Adams thinks Howe's army should have been driven out earlier, by means of the militia; he wishes to see \"more of an enterprizing Spirit in the Senate and the Field;\" disapproves the appointment of General Schuyler to command in the Northern Department; contrasts his incompetency with the abilities of Gates who \"is honest and true & has the Art of gaining the Love of his soldiers [more] especially because he is always present.\"."}
