My Lord

I have the Honor to Inclose Col: Tarletons Letter which I have this Moment Received. --

I have Sent for the Person who is to go with the Flag of Truce and propose Sending him off this day. -- A Serg^t from Smallwood came here yesterday with Letters for the Prisoners. I sent them back Instantly.

I shall Execute the Instructions sent me in Major Englands Letter Relative to the Rebell Officers &c.

[p2] We are Order'd to Collect Forage, Corn and Fuel and at the Same Time the Quarter-master Gen^l takes away our Waggons.

Unless more [Carriadges?] can be got we shall be much Distressed --

I Beg Leave to Inform your Lordship that there has been Grievous Complaints made of Mr. Knight the Commisary not paying his Drivers -- Such Conduct hurts the service and am Credibly Informed He has a Large sum of Money in his hands now. I am with much Respect

Your Lordships
most Faithfull Humble Serv^t
