{"value"=>"Delayed answering letter of the 1st until he should receive Col. Hamilton's report of the patrolls; he is better satisfied with the strength of Lieut. Col. Upham's post at Loyd's Neck; Maj. Murray is within two miles of Jamaica and can be strengthened with infantry on notice of any alarm; Col. Axtell's disposition of the militia posts in King's County will answer every purpose; the militia on the south side captured several whaleboats the preceding year from the enemy; which should be used in Rockaway Bay for the security of the inhabitants there; the boats were kept at Durling's Mills where the inhabitants secured them."}
