{"value"=>"He made this day a report on the state of the Virginia division under Stirling's command; the want of officers cannot but have a hurtful tendency; he proposed to the commander in chief to recall a proportionable number of those who have remained in Virginia; there are several regiments without field officers, and many companies commanded by sergeants; the General directed that Stirling should consult with Gens. Woodford and Mühlenberg as to remedying this; sends an account of the formation of the division for the present campaign."}
