Grant sent a letter requesting the expedient trial or release on bail of Dr. James Barrett. Grant knew Barrett had a practice and stated that his imprisonment was an inconvenience to local residents. Barrett was under charge of treason which Grant knew, but downplayed him to an idealist. Barrett was in fact a very high ranking official in the Sons of Liberty AKA Knights of the Golden Circle (It is unknown if Grant knew this or not).
