{"value"=>"Has heard several times, though not officially, that a considerable detachment of Maryland troops has been in the State and ready to march for two months, but that they are detained by some private dispute or the want of camp equipage; represents the absolute necessity for reinforcements; begs Gist to investigate the causes of delay and remedy the difficulty; needs his personal services and requests him to take command of those troops; unfinished business may be left to Gen. Smallwood who has been written to; both armies are now inactive but the militia are making some efforts at Ponpon which he hopes may be successful."}
