Col. Laurens to Col. Maham Wraggs, Near Strawberry, Jan. , 1852 (sic). Dear Sir: I leave my letter to Gen. Marion and the papers mentioned in it open for your perusal; however little inclined to believe that the enemy seriously meditates an enterprise against Gen. Greene's army, it is our duty to take every precaution, relative to such an event; there may be still more forage found this side of Goose Creek, and a very little time will discover whether intelligence transmitted is well founded. I have no intelligence this morning, but have reason to believe that all is quiet as yet; however if a move is to take place, it is an event that may happen from one moment to another. Yours, sincerely, JOHN LAURENS P. S. I shall move hence immediately towards Dorchester, and will transmit you immediate intelligence of anything that may occur, and of the final position which Gen. Greene wishes to take. (No. 239 From Documentary History of the American Revolution, by Gibbes, Volume 3, p. 231) Doc ID: Gibbes, v. 3, p. 231 Date: 1/1/1782 |
