{"value"=>"Regarding him as most zealous of his protectors, sends copy of a letter that he means to address to Congress; Gen. Yates came on the 23d to see the manœuvres of the regiments at West Point; Neuville had asked for twelve days in which to prepare, but through the zeal of the men they were ready in seven; no troops in the world are so easy to teach; submits a plan of the manœuvres executed; asks his correspondent to use his influence to obtain the rank of lieutenant colonel for his brother; as for himself, hopes that Congress will grant him the rank of brigadier on receiving the account of his conduct."}
