{"value"=>"He has embarked with the refugees six months provisions for 1,000 white persons and 2,000 negroes; also three months provisions for 1,000 white persons and 1,000 negroes, which is intended for the Georgia refugees; the Commander-in-chief ordered that no rebel property should be removed by persons who might have got possession of it unjustly; there is hope that such property may be rendered a means of obtaining some terms as to that which belongs to the loyalists; he asks therefore that such rebel property, including negroes, as may have been removed to Florida may be secured; at all eventsheir removal to the West Indies must be prevented, for if a treaty should be made with regard to them, they will have to be accounted for. Copy. 2 pp. and 1 leaf with endorsement."}
