The Waggon with Necessarys from WmsBurg is not yet arrived, nor have I heard any thing from them, we have been busily imploy'd in repairing our Arms, which will be compleated this Day, & runing Ball with what few moulds & ladles we have, the quantity on hand is very Inconsiderable in proportion to our Number of Men, but from the Accts. I have from below I shall March in the Morning, & when the Waggon over takes me at Great Bridge, take time to provide myself better with that Necessary Article. Colo. Bullitt, I inform'd you, had taken post with Colo. Wells & 30 Volunteers between this & Scotts Camp, with directions from me to intercept all Tories & other Enemys, & keep the communication open between us, the enclosed Coppy of one of his orders to Capt. James Murdeaugh, will give you a better Idea of that Gentms. Conduct then I am able to do, your Letter upon his comeing down I inform'd him of, & he promised to give me his Assist- -ance & advice upon all Occations without takeing upon himself any Command whatever, agreeable to his promise to you, which I told him I should allways be obliged to him for, but as I held myself answerable for the conduct of all <h4>Page 2</h4> the Troops in the Southern District of Virginia, I hoped no person would presume to give any orders of Consequence without my knowledge, & in particular mention'd that my instructions did not Warrent the seizing & confiscating any Persons pro- -perty whatever, how far this unhappy Blundering Man has observed his promise, you will be able to Judge, I am well convinced that his being permitted to Join me was intended to serve the Common Cause, but my most inti- -mate acquaintance with him for a Number of Years made me Industriously avoid having him with me, & nothing could have happen'd to me on my March that would have given me more uneasiness then his Company, he is very dissagreeable to most of the Officers, & must say I think it would be for the good of the service if he was otherways I'mploy'd. I shall endeavour to keep him within proper bounds, while he stays, & as I cannot help having pitty for him as an old Soldier, that I have allways thought not a little, Insane, I will endeavour to make the best of him while he continues with us--Capt. Murdeaugh was prudent enough to send me this order by his Lieut. before he proceeded to execute it, I desired him to watch Agnee's House, prevent any persons passing & repassing, likewise the re- -moval of his Affects, & if he should return, to secure his person, but do no Violence to his Affects or Family. Colo. Wells (agreeable to my directions) went on Munday to a Meeting of 2 Compys. of Militia which I had inteligence were to assemble p his Ldships orders, & had the good Fortune to secure them boath, with their orders from the Govr. & his County Lieut. Colo. <h4>Page 3</h4> Willowby, Coppys of which you have inclosed, the other Capts. name is Stephen Wright, and the orders the same. An Express from Scott informs me that he arrived yesterday at 12 Oclock at the Bridge, had sent partys (who have secured all the Boats) some shott were exchanged with our Advanced party & their Centinals, one of the Latter Wounded but escaped, they discharged some of their Wet Arms at the Enemy, & they return'd the Fire, which Killed one of Man of Capt. Parkers Company Dead upon the Spott, but did no other damage, they discribe the Fort to be an unfinished Stockade with out any Cannon yet Mounted, & purpose to cross the River Early this Morning with part of the Men, & attack them on both Sides at the same time, which all the Officers say, with confidence, must succeed with little Loss on our side. Colo. Scott from his last Accts from Norfolk, says he is more then a match for their Whole Force, should they come to the Relief of the Bride before I Join him. Lt. Sampford on a Scouting party the Day before Started a Camp of some Blacks, who Run, he Called to them to stop, but one of them prepairing for Battle he shott him thro the Head with his Riffle. I have wrote a line to Colo. Henry, but not expecting he was return'd yet to Camp, have refer'd him for News to you I am Dr Sir Your Obedt. Servt.
