{"value"=>"Acknowledges a letter of the day before; is glad to hear that the few troops they have in the field have already obtained Gen. Green's commendations; an express from Dudley arrived the day before; he sent the letter to Col. Long; it said that the French had landed 4,000 troops at James Town and that Gen. Wayne had recrossed; Austin Willis confirmed this and added that Cornwallis's army was in Gloucester County, and his fleet blocked up; he will probably make a stand in hopes of relief, or try to get above the Marquis by rapid marches; Washington has stormed Kingsbridge with the loss of 1,500 men."}
