{"value"=>"The inhabitants on the western frontiers are starving, and the western posts cannot be supported without great expense; the light-horse are refractory and refuse to march downwards; he should have been on the ceded lands before this, but has waited for provisions; his men are sickly; will give [George] Galphin a caution; has sent a party under Capt. Porter to guard the Indian ambassadors as far as Ogeechee; a Capt. Dooley wants them detained until he has satisfaction for his brother's life; thinks the only chance of escaping an Indian war is from the talks they carry up; a copy of his talk to them will be delivered by Capt. Gerrard."}
