Prevost he mentioned his intention of attacking Charlestown [Charleston], to which he was particularly induced from the disgust which the inhabitants, there have not only to Congress, but to Gen. Lincoln, who has behaved to several of them in a very tyrannical manner." This is followed by a letter from an officer at New York with a few more war-related items (see).
