{"value"=>"James Stevenson, a commissioner from Congress, has requested a guard; he is at the house of Daniel Gray in Standford, and has many valuable papers; gives orders for a sergeant and twelve men to be sent there next day; Gen. Washington has directed that after leaving enough men here to cover the foragers, and at Peekskill to secure the passes, the remainder should march to join him in the Jersies; the three regiments of new levies from Connecticut and the New York troops will therefore remain in this quarter; desires Wooster to prevent the spread of small-pox, and harass the enemy; disapproves the sentence of the court-martial on Capt. Thorp; begins his journey next day for Peekskill and Boston; Gen. Lincoln is to march his division into the Jersies, and Wooster's must therefore move further this way."}
