{"value"=>"Nothing has been decided yet as to the next campaign, everything seeming to be checked by the bad state of the finances; many projects have been brought forward concerning the army; hopes his own idea will be decided upon, to equalize the regiments and place each at 317 men; wishes Walker to make the next campaign with him, and desires his presence here as soon as possible; Luzerne has not yet gone; wishes to know the exact number of the regulations issued by the Board of War for the main army; Maj. Scoll [Peter Scull] having gone to Paradise can no longer furnish an account."}
