{"value"=>"Regrets that Stirling's troops are distressed for want of forage; he is not authorised to impress for the ordinary supplies of the army; however, as the troops were transported to Albany by water, the forage impressed for teams in expectation of a march thither can be used for other purposes until the quartermaster is able to purchase more; if the reports are true of the enemy's landing at Crown Point and Ticonderoga, they have divided their forces; the Crown Point party will probably take Sir John's route of the preceding year and strike at the Mohawk, though the season is late; Cornwallis is reported captured."}
