{"value"=>"Had just received their favor as to the rank roll and officers for the regiments to be retained in the Continental service of those raised in this State; would devote the evening to it; the resolves were missing from their letter; nothing material had happened since the skirmish on 16th ulto.; the enemy very shy, our advanced sentries and theirs within 300 yards of each other in Harlem lane; their works calculated for defence; would have complied with Convention's request by [John] McKesson for information but had been busy arranging and settling the army, and since then his brigade was under orders to support advanced picket in case of alarm; this, he trusted, a sufficient apology."}
