Patrick Henry Life Correspondence And Speeches Volume 2 Scholars Choice Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from Patrick Henry Life, Correspondence and Speeches, Vol. 3 Sir: I arrived here last night & found the Troops in tolerable good condition. The Inhabitants are pretty quiet. But from the small Distance that separates them from the Enemy, the officers think it necessary for the Troops to perform Duty that is very severe. Understanding that a large Ship & Sloop were in the Bay ab 15 Miles below, I thought it advisable to order out a party of Soldiers to make Discovery, & bring them in if possible. Cap Barron accordingly set out with 20 men in a swift sailing Vessel & has bro in a Sloop from Turks Island having on board 900 Bushels Salt, a peice or two of Popn & Irish Linens, & a few other articles. The Sloop is just now bro within the Bar, & her Cargo waits the Disposition of the Convention. The Ship is very suspicious. I can't form a probable guess whether she is a friend or a Foe. I shall order out another party very early in the morning to attempt something with her. Cap James Barron, who is so kind as to be the Bearer of this, will hand you a large Bag of Letters which seem to have been concealed by Cap Harris, & kept back when the former papers bro by him were discovered. A small parcel of Goods are found on him which I judge belong to Sprowle of Norfolk, agreeable to an Invoice among Harris's first Letters, & very probably some of these may ascertain the Matter.
