Extract.- From Earl Cornwallis to Lieutenant-colonel Tarleton, dated Wynnesborough, November 11, 1780. I SEND duplicates of my two last letters, as I ordered one of the expresses to return immediately, and he is not yet come; I am apprehensive some accident may have happened to him. The enemy declare their intentions of going to Ninety Six; I have sent M'Arthur with the 1st battalion (a.) of the 71st, and the 63d under Money to Shirar's ferry: I wish you would get three legions, and divide yourself into three parts: We can do no good without you, I trust to your coming immediately, unless you see something ore materially pressing. (From A History of the Campaigns of 1780 and 1781, in the Southern Province of North America?, by Lieutenant-Colonel Tarleton, pp200-202.) Tarleton, Ch 3., [K], p. 200c 11/10/1780 |
