{"value"=>"On receipt of his letter he wrote immediately to General Lee; his own offers of service were merely for the benefit of the cause, knowing that he is more adapted to the cabinet than the field; hears that the tendered services of young gentlemen to the Congress have been slighted; his nephew Lewis, who was the only one of them appointed a captain, promptly resigned; if a regiment is offered him he should certainly do the same; is sorry that a herd of mechanics is preferred to the best families in the Colony."}
