{"value"=>"By a letter received by Gen. Prevost from Gen. Lincoln it was understood that Maj. Hearne had come with full powers to treat for the exchange of prisoners; has been sent to meet him with that understanding but finds that distinctions are insisted on for State and Continental prisoners; unless they can arrange for a fair and general exchange it will be useless to meet; though elective exchanges are not advisable the Commanders should be willing to oblige each other occasionally."}
