Andrew Pickens to Capt. John Irvin [Original MS.] March 14, 1779. SIR: I wrote you a few days ago to reinforce Colonel Williams at Ninety-Six with twenty-five men from your company; but, as I have just got orders from Gen. Williamson to march a strong party of my regiment to Cowan's Ferry, on Savannah river, you will, therefore, march with two parts of your company to that place, to be there on Wednesday next, the 17th inst., armed and accoutred, with good horses. I have wrote to Col. Williams to let your men come home, though you had better see him yourself. I hope you will be spirited in this matter. I am, sir, your most humble servant, ANDREW PICKENS (From Documentary History of the American Revolution, by Gibbes, Volume 2, p. 113) Doc ID: Gibbes, v. 2, p. 113 Date: 3/14/1779 |
