{"value"=>"Details the entire circumstances, in the shape of a formal report, of the arrest of the King's Governor and Council of Georgia; their paroles, bounds, Mr. Stokes' intention of breaking same, and decision of Provincial Congress to reduce same and their order to Samuel Elbert, then Col. of the 1st. [Georgia] Regiment to execute it; as captain of the day he had waited on Gov. [Sir James] Wright, finding him with some of the council; on his renewed verbal parole had refrained from putting sentinels over him; offered him a guard but he had declined it; a few days after this the governor violated his faith and fled to the enemy's vessels; trusts that the British commander will render him up."}
