<p>July 10th 1781. 10 o'clock P.M.</p>
<br /><p>Sir</p>
<br /><p>In order to ascertain the intentions<br />of Lord Cornwallis, yesterday, the Marquiss moved<br />down to the Green Spring, about 800 continentals<br />and some rifle men. 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. ---
