abstract
{"value"=>"Announces his arrival and assumption of the command as senior office; the bearer Maj. [Joseph] Prowell is on his way to Philadelphia, by way of Wyoming; a board of officers having determined the dispute between him and the captains of the Pennsylvania Line, in favor of the latter, he will be removed and replaced by a senior captain; regrets the loss of so good an officer; asks that influence may be used to have certain dragoons dismounted, as they are of little use; incloses a letter from the board of war with an order for the independent companies of Malcolm's regiment to join his own: quotes from a handbill published in Philadelphia giving news of the situation in South Carolina and Georgia, with number of troops on each side. In a postscript states that Dr. Dunn has been to see him respecting Capt. McLane's independent company, which was to join the Delaware troops; many are deserting, and directions are asked for."}
