{"value"=>"Sends the pay rolls of his regiment by Maj. Smith the paymaster; asks for a speedy settlement as the men are in great need; has been obliged to employ several spies as the Indians and Tories have been very troublesome; has also sent many expresses and advanced his own money in payment; asks for £500, Continental money, and will make a just return by Maj. Smith; it is not for himself, but for men who have faithfully served their country; is sorry to trouble Gen. Lincoln, but there is no one else, since Gen. Elbert was taken prisoner, to whom he can apply."}
