{"value"=>"Has agreed with Gen. Elbert that it will be best for the common cause, in case the enemy should cross the Savannah, to move their troops into the back country and give their friends an opportunity to join them; being anxious to get news of the enemy had sent a small party out; the cruel circumstances attending it had induced him to write to Lt. Col. Campbell; encloses copy of letter and reply; will send to Gen. Lincoln the guilty person; the troops unamiously approve of his punishment."}
