{"value"=>"On his way to the boring mill he has been struck on the leg by a horse and is too lame to walk; Mr. Wheeler has finished the borer and knives, and they have been sent to the mill; Captain Joy has promised that he will assist in boring the two 6-pounders; wishes to send his family and effects to the country where they will be safer, and asks where he can get wagons; has been so engaged collecting carriages, ammunition, and stores that he has moved nothing yet; if his family were safe he could do more for the service."}
