{"value"=>"The guard boats have reported that two war ships, three tenders, and a number of flat-bottomed boats had come up the river as far as Tarry town where they landed their men; one man-of-war and other vessels have since come up; parties have been sent out to reconnoitre; Gen. Parsons has also gone but not returned; they are now as far as Croton bridge, and it is believed they intend to attack Peekskill; Clinton is asked to give such orders to the militia as he may think proper, and if possible to come on the barge which has been sent to him. On the back is an order to the forts, ships, etc., to allow the barge to pass, signed by D. Putnam, A. D. C."}
