{"value"=>"Sends this by a messenger going eastward, but without news; the day of trial, enemy bombarding their little forts on the river; as to a barrel of salmon at Morristown, and storing sugar in Livingston's cellar; not to delay wagons, sends eastern papers; prisoners in Philadelphia treated most cruelly, remonstrances made that day, nothing to eat but grass; Howe's army was starving; milch-cow beef sold for 3s. 6d. per 1b; inhabitants perishing and all turned Whigs; over 1000 women had come out in one day, begging for food; the news as to capture of Indiamen and Lord Stormont's recall was confirmed."}
