-
{"value"=>"Acknowledges letter of Nov. 30th; alludes to the attack on Quebec and the loss of Montgomery; he sent all the troops that could be spared to Col. [Benedict] Arnold, to keep up the blockade, while he himself remained to secure this place in case of retreat; troops begin to come in from the colonies; all kinds of stores are needed; recommends that they be brought over the Lakes, to avoid sinking so much hard cash in this country; they may then be paid for in continental money, which will help to give it circulation."}
