<br /><p>Camp at Suffolk 29<sup>th</sup> Nov<sup>r</sup>. 1775</p>
<br /><p>Dear Sir</p>
<br /><p>I just wrote you fully by young M<sup>r</sup> Kemp who<br />went from this Express on Sunday Evening, & I am under<br />much uneasiness at hearing nothing from him since.<br />The Waggon with Necessarys from WmsBurg is not yet<br />arrived, nor have I heard any thing from them, we have<br />been busily imploy'd in repairing our Arms, which will<br />be compleated this Day, & runing Ball with what few<br />moulds & ladles we have, the quantity on hand is very<br />Inconsiderable in proportion to our Number of Men,<br />but from the Acc<sup>ts</sup>. I have from below I shall March in the<br />Morning, & when the Waggon over takes me at Great<br />Bridge, take time to provide myself better with that<br />Necessary Article. Col<sup>o</sup>. Bullitt, I inform'd you, had taken<br />post with Col<sup>o</sup>. Wells & 30 Volunteers between this & <br />Scotts Camp, with directions from me to intercept all<br />Tories & other Enemys, & keep the communication open<br />between us, the enclosed Coppy of one of his orders to Cap<sup>t</sup>.<br />James Murdeaugh, will give you a better Idea of that Gen<sup>tms</sup>.<br />Conduct then I am able to do, your Letter upon his comeing<br />down I inform'd him of, & he promised to give me his Assist-<br />-ance & advice upon all Occations without takeing upon<br />himself any Command whatever, agreeable to his promise<br />to you, which I told him I should allways be obliged to him<br />for, but as I held myself answerable for the conduct of all</p>
<br /><h4>Page 2</h4>
<p><br />the Troops in the Southern District of Virginia, I hoped no<br />person would presume to give any orders of Consequence without<br />my knowledge, & in particular mention'd that my instructions<br />did not Warrent the seizing & confiscating any Persons pro-<br />-perty whatever, how far this unhappy Blundering Man has<br />observed his promise, you will be able to Judge, I am<br />well convinced that his being permitted to Join me was<br />intended to serve the Common Cause, but my most inti-<br />-mate acquaintance with him for a Number of Years<br />made me Industriously avoid having him with me, &<br />nothing could have happen'd to me on my March that<br />would have given me more uneasiness then his Company,<br />he is very dissagreeable to most of the Officers, & must say<br />I think it would be for the good of the service if he was<br />otherways I'mploy'd. I shall endeavour to keep him within<br />proper bounds, while he stays, & as I cannot help having<br />pitty for him as an old Soldier, that I have allways thought<br />not a little, Insane, I will endeavour to make the best<br />of him while he continues with us--Cap<sup>t</sup>. Murdeaugh was<br />prudent enough to send me this order by his Lieu<sup>t</sup>. before he<br />proceeded to execute it, I desired him to watch Agnee's House,<br />prevent any persons passing & repassing, likewise the re-<br />-moval of his Affects, & if he should return, to secure his<br />person, but do no Violence to his Affects or Family.</p>
<br /><p>Col<sup>o</sup>. Wells (agreeable to my directions) went on Munday to a<br />Meeting of 2 Comp<sup>ys</sup>. of Militia which I had inteligence were to<br />assemble p his L<sup>d</sup>ships orders, & had the good Fortune to secure them<br />boath, with their orders from the Gov<sup>r</sup>. & his County Lieu<sup>t</sup>. Col<sup>o</sup>.</p>

<p><br />Willowby, Coppys of which you have inclosed, the other Cap<sup>ts</sup>.<br />name is Stephen Wright, and the orders the same.</p>
<br />An Express from Scott informs me that he arrived yesterday<br />at 12 Oclock at the Bridge, had sent partys (who have<br />secured all the Boats) some shott were exchanged with<br />our Advanced party & their Centinals, one of the Latter Wounded<br />but escaped, they discharged some of their Wet Arms at<br />the Enemy, & they return'd the Fire, which Killed one <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">of</span><br />Man of Cap<sup>t</sup>. Parkers Company Dead upon the Spott,<br />but did no other damage, they discribe the Fort to be an<br />unfinished Stockade with out any Cannon yet Mounted,<br />& purpose to cross the River Early this Morning with<br />part of the Men, & attack them on both Sides at the <br />same time, which all the Officers say, with confidence,<br />must succeed with little Loss on our side.<br /><p><br />Col<sup>o</sup>. Scott from his last Acc<sup>ts</sup> from Norfolk, says he is<br />more then a match for their Whole Force, should they<br />come to the Relief of the Bride before I Join him.<br /><br /></p>

<br /><p>I have wrote a line to Col<sup>o</sup>. Henry, but not expecting<br />he was return'd yet to Camp, have refer'd him for<br />News to you</p>
