{"value"=>"In answer to a letter of the 10th, informs his correspondent that the fleet from Ireland has arrived in this river with seven regiments; Gen. Clinton will probably land them at Little River and march them to Anson and Cumberland counties where, according to Gov. Martin, he will meet with strong reinforcements; from there, deserters say, they will proceed to Charlestown; it is important to prevent a junction between the troops and the disaffected in the back country: advises his correspondent to place his rifle regiment at the passes of the Wagamaw; he has 900 regular troops, and will march to assist if necessary; a detachment of his men at Gen. Howe's plantation had a skirmish with a party of the enemy who landed to surprise them. Marked \"Copy.\"."}
