About 4 o'clock in the<br />afternoon the rifle men commenced a loose fire<br />upon the enemy, which was kept up till within<br />half an hour of sun set, where the regulars and<br />british came to warm action. The whole of<br />Cornwallis's force was engaged, and of course we<br />were compelled to give way. We did it however<br />with a good grace as the night set in, but did<br />not retire from the field above half a mile.<br />They did not think proper to pursue. Our loss is<br />inconsiderable. We were obliged to leave two<br />pieces of cannon that had their horses killed. I<br />have not time to be more particular as a<br />detachment of the army is in motion to take<br />possession of James Town which the enemy evacu=<br />=ated last night and this morning. They have<br />crossed to the South side of James river.</p> <br /><p>I am Sir your svt<br />James McHenry</p> <br />You will be pleased to<br />forward the inclosed by the<br />chain. --- Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Ink on paper Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
