{"value"=>"Encloses letters respecting the rank of officers in [Col. Thomas] Procter's Regiment [4th continental artillery] and Col. [Benjamin] Flower's pretensions; requests Knox to consider them attentively; the amusements of Philadelphia have such preferable charms to the dangers and hardships of the field that he will not be surprised at finding a thousand difficulties enumerated by the above corps to prevent their marching, therefore wants all obstacles removed; the letter to the Council of Massachusetts Bay is under a flying seal for Knox's perusal; requests utmost dispatch in bringing the cannon therein mentioned to the Posts in the Highlands."}
