{"value"=>"Have hoped, since they heard that Congress had passed a resolution for the incorporation of the Legion, that Gen. Lincoln would give orders for that purpose; represent the small number of officers and men and the expense of forming a separate corps; ask him to decide the case, as they are weary of the arbitrary power exercised by Major Vernier; ask that they may be incorporated in some of the Virginia regiments, especially in that under Col. Washington where the discipline is good; will endeavor by their conduct and zeal to merit his esteem."}
