{"value"=>"Congratulates him on the arrival of the fleet in the Chesapeake; a month's pay, though far short of their due, should appease the New York Line; Gen. Schuyler writes that the Indians have done more mischief; there are 80,000 bushels of wheat at Schoharie that he has vainly tried to bring away; the management of the remnant of their marine has been given to the Financier; this will be a saving; writes by Col. Laurens, who has given entire satisfaction in his late mission, and who refused any recompense, but asked leave to join the army immediately."}
