abstract
{"value"=>"Agreeable to directions received at Philadelphia last spring concerning Capt. Bliss, he wrote twice ordering him to join the regiment; Bliss answered with an impolite letter and procured a certificate; Stevens then made representations to Headquarters and was referred to Gen. Lincoln for further information; he hears that Bliss keeps a victualling house in Boston; does not think it right that he should receive the benefits of a public office without doing anything to merit them; suggests that Bliss might be transferred to some other corps."}
