627. AUTHORITY, Conflict of.—
Congress
having * * * directed that they [British
prisoners in Virginia] should not be removed,
and our Assembly that they should, the Executive
[of Virginia] are placed in a very disagreeable
situation. We can order them to
the banks of the Potomac, but our authority
will not land them on the opposite shore.—
To Benjamin Harrison.
