18th Oct 1859
Colonel Lee U.S.A. Commdr the troops sent by the President of the U.S. to suppress the insurrection at this place, demands the surrender of the persons in the Army buildings.
If they will peaceably surrender themselves & restore the pillaged property, they shall be kept in safety to await the orders of the President.
Col Lee represents to them in all frankness that it is impossible for them to escape, that the Armoury is surrounded on all sides by troops & that if he is Compelled to take them by force he Cannot answer for their safety.
