Physical Description
A. L. S. 2 pp. 4o
Description
He thinks Leslie's information as to ill-treatment of British prisoners is without foundation, but will make immediate enquiry; he detests cruelty on either side; complaints have been made of the deplorable situation of prisoners in Leslie's possession, who ought all to be released to discharge the balance due; he has not remonstrated, being disposed to think favorably of Leslie's conduct, but suggests that an officer from each army be sent to inspect their condition.
