Journal of Lieutenant William Feltman, September 23, 1781

This day eleven o'clock A. M., I had the pleasure with a number of other gentlemen officers to be introduced to the Count Rochambeau at the Marquis's quarters. He is an elderly gentleman, of about five feet six inches high, and has a very soldierly appearance; is a man well experienced of war, &c.
