{"value"=>"Acknowledging instructions of Dec. 16th, they wish to know if it is the desire of the Council that they should propose in Congress an allowance to Gen. Washington, and whether it should be a grant of money for his great personal sacrifices, or an annual sum to indemnify him for expenses which he may incur in future from the particular situation in which he must be; as Congress now consists of only seven states they cannot yet take up the subjects mentioned by the Council; they forward a transcript of the Journal and other papers, for the copying of which they employed Col. [David S. Franks; Congress has received many letters from its ministers in Europe, principally concerning the negotiations for peace; they are not at liberty to copy them."}
