Three regiments of
Pennsylvania, a detachment of artillery, and Maryland troops, commence their
march for South Carolina—General St. Clair, the commanding officer. Easy,
regular marching; roads generally good, through sandy country. Pass through
Richmond and Guilford, in North Carolina, where General Green and the British
had a hard fight; also Camden, where Gates was defeated. Halted at least one
day in the week for purpose of washing and refreshing.
