Andrew Pickens to Capt. John Irvine [Original MS.] March 12, 1779. SIR: On receipt of this immediately march, with twenty-five men of your company, to Ninety-Six, and join Col. Williams, in order to guard the prisoners while on trial. You will receive orders from Col. Williams when you arrive at Ninety-Six. Dinborough is to supply you with provisions while on duty. You will have Lieut. Joseph Wardlaw and any others of your company that were prisoners with the Tories, and can be any evidence against any of them. Elijah and Samuel Moore, that were with me at the battle of Kettle Creek, I am well informed have some horses and two rifle guns that were taken at that battle, and as that property belongs to the people in general, you will order them, without loss of time, to bring those effects to me, or they may depend on being prosecuted for the same. I am, sir, your humble servant, ANDREW PICKENS (From Documentary History of the American Revolution, by Gibbes, Volume 2, p. 109) Doc ID: Gibbes, v. 2, p. 109 Date: 3/12/1779 |
