| Abstract | Letter from Francis Wade to Nathanael Greene. Wilmington - Has not heard of General Pulaski or any of his legion; has given instructions, however, about their reception. Difficulty of getting forage for the horses. Scarce a farmer within a radius of thirty miles will sell any grain. A prodigious saving of forage if the teams could be laid off until the navigation is open. Orders from General Smallwood, for certain men employed by him to return to their regiments, a great detriment to the service, as he has no others to replace them with. Exceedingly troublesome force of about one hundred men under a lieutenant stationed at this post and robbing the inhabitants. | ||
