{"value"=>"The enemy have evacuated Brunswick and retreated to Amboy; a great part of the army is now at Brunswick; the utmost exertions must be used in forwarding provisions; has not received one barrel from him this week; probably the militia on the road stop it all; only three days provisions now on hand; live cattle are preferable to salted meat because easier to transport; expects they will march into New England soon; urges all possible haste; the army will starve if not quickly supplied."}
