[Gov. Lee to Colo Josias Carvil Hall]

Sir I have received your Letter of the 2^d Ins^t and think I cannot,
with Propriety interpose and stop the regular Course of the Law
without being previously informed of the particular Circumstances
of each Person's Case committed and confined in Goal and therefore
must request the Favor of you to apply to the Magistrates who com-
mitted the Soldiers and obtain a State of the Proof or Testimony
against each Person. If the Crimes with which they stand charged,
are not attrocious, or the Evidence against any of them should be
insufficient to induce an Opinion of their Delinquency, and no Incon-
venience likely to result to the Public from my Interference, I shall
not hesitate to free them from their Restraint, Zeal for the Common
Cause and a strong Inclination to oblige you, conspire powerfully
to influence me to take every Measure to restore these Men to the
Army, that is not incompatible with the Laws of the State and the
great Duties I owe to Society
