Journal of Lieutenant William Feltman, June 4, 1781

Marched at six o'clock in the morning, and had orders from Gen. Wayne to leave our heavy baggage at this place (Mr. Corks's mills), and the sick of the line under the care of a surgeon. Marched through a low country, roads being very bad, in consequence of the rains we had a few days before, and encamped at the Red House, 18 miles—Prince William County.
