{"value"=>"Does not understand how his armorers can want provisions, as orders for their supply have been issued; if there is difficulty in sharing them when issued in bulk, he will order them issued in pieces and bits; observes that these artificers draw more provisions than any field officer: general Washington's army had lately been four days without food, and General Burgoyne's army was also in want; if prices continue so high, the army will be destitute by July; is disgusted with his office, but will not abandon it, though as a foreigner he does not expect to own land in America."}
