{"value"=>"It is intended to make a vigorous campaign in America; the Colonies are to raise as many men as possible, to act under the Earl of Loudon; it is hoped that the enlistment of the men and the raising of their pay will not be hampered by the limitations that have previously made their service ineffectual; the men, their pay, arms, and clothing, are all that will be required of the Colonies; regular troops are to be sent and stores laid up at the expense of the Crown; one battalion of regulars is to be sent to Virginia."}
