{"value"=>"States that at the time of the investment of Charleston by Clinton and Arbuthnot, the council thought it best not to interfere with the military in the questions relating to the surrender; this had been communicated to Gen. Lincoln and the inhabitants; as the matter has been misunderstood thinks it his duty to exonerate Gen. Lincoln from any intentional disrespect to the civil authority, or neglect of the rights of the people."}
