Extract.- From Earl Cornwallis to Lieutenant-colonel Tarleton, dated Jones' plantation, May 15th, 1781, five P. M. I AM making all possible expedition, and hope to be at Nottoway on Friday evening. I would have you proceed to-morrow to the Nottoway, and remain near Simcoe's infantry. Arnoild is ordered to march immediately to meet me on the Nottoway. Wayne's having joined La Fayette, makes me rather uneasy for Arnold until we join. If you should hear of any movement of the enemy in force to disturb Arnold's march, you will give him every assistance in your power. (From A History of the Campaigns of 1780 and 1781, in the Southern Province of North America?, by Lieutenant-Colonel Tarleton, pp333.) Tarleton, Ch 5., [O], p. 333 5/15/1781 |
