Description
Acknowledges letter informing him that Col. Provost had returned to Savannah with a party of British for its protection; asks for a supply of ammunition; needs 100 stand of arms; his own regiment turned out almost to a man, but the others are backward; has sent in returns of the regiments of Cols. Few and Wells, and his own; they are all he has in camp; Cols. Baker and Twiggs will probably not join at all, as they have gone towards Sunbury, and he fears they have hurt the present expedition; has sent proclamations down the country; his men are very uneasy at being kept in camp; their families are mostly on the frontier, and some have had their property destroyed by the Indians.
