{"value"=>"Mentions his own service under Wayne at Stoney Point, and introduces Capt. Alexander Gibson, on the march to join Wayne with a company of riflemen; praises Gibson's zeal in enlisting a company in so short a time; he is of good family, and distinguished himself in the militia during the late war; he has improved his rifles for close quarters by fixing bayonets on them without intercepting the sight; this is preferable to spears, because either the spear or the rifle must be thrown away in action; wishes Wayne success against his savage enemies."}
