{"value"=>"Has received his letters and forwarded those sent to his care, but no prompt answers need be expected owing to interruptions to travel caused by the severest winter known since 1740; great uncertainty exists while the enemy are in their quarters; the committee will make known the state of the finances, food, and clothing; hopes for a vigorous campaign, that the states may rouse from their lethargy; knows nothing of Penobscot; his state [Massachusetts] has determined to make good the pay of troops for three years back, and has decided on a scale of depreciation by a mean ratio on beef, Indian corn, sheeps' wool, and sole leather."}
