{"value"=>"Considering the difficulty of clothing the army, he thinks it best that a clothier should be appointed in Connecticut, as many needed articles are manufactured there; Maj. John Bigelow of Hartford has been usefully employed in procuring articles and having them made up and forwarded to the troops without attending to the mode prescribed by the agents of the clothier general; if this plan be adopted he recommends Maj. Bigelow as a proper person to undertake the business."}
