{"value"=>"Encloses an extract of a letter from Lord George Germaine to Sir Henry Clinton of Feb. 7, 1781, which fully establishes the fact of connection between the inhabitants of the New Hampshire Grants and Great Britain; the letter was found on the Maria Theresa and communicated to Congress; the British minister was led to hope that inhabitants of Albany were also concerned; this information is unofficial and must be kept secret; General Lincoln has gone up the river to hasten the Massachusetts levies for the frontier service; the part of Cortlandt's regiment now at Albany is to remain until those levies arrive."}
