{"value"=>"After having at great expense, and loss by the enemy at Danbury, removed from Newhaven to Kingston on an offer of the printing business of this [New York] state, his type, press, and personal effects had been plundered and destroyed by the British in their raid on Kingston; the £200 advanced him by the Council of Safety to recoup this loss had long been exhausted; asks for further sum of money to enable him to begin printing. In a postscript asks for copy as he was prepared to begin composition, but could do no press work for need of a blanket."}
