{"value"=>"Has written before by Lieut. Col. Mercer, offering him in the name of the council the command of the regiment which Col. Washington had resigned; if, on the instances of Pitt a second regiment should be raised, Byrd would of course be commander-in-chief of the forces in the pay of the colony; hopes the letter has been delivered by Col. Mercer, who is detained in the colony by a handsome, rich widow. He had also carried with the letter a commission for Mr. Menzie."}
