Gen. Greene to Gen. Marion [Horry MS.] Ashley Hill, September 15, 1782. Dear Sir: I have received your letter by Mr. Pollock, with the returns enclosed. Intelligence from town induces me to believe the enemy are making preparations for another expedition after provision, and that the neighborhood of Georgetown will be their object, if there is a large quantity of provisions near that place. I beg that some steps may be taken for removing the rice, if possible, or for effectually covering the country from the ravages of the enemy. I am unable, at this distance, to determine with precision the position you ought to take, or the measures you have it in your power to pursue to oppose their designs. You will, therefore, adopt the plan which you think most eligible. I am, dear sir, your most obedient servant, NATHANIEL GREENE (From Documentary History of the American Revolution, by Gibbes, Volume 2, p. 227) Doc ID: Gibbes, v. 2, p. 227 Date: 9/15/1782 |
