Dear Major:
By copies just received from Gen. Greene, Maj. Ross with a flag and the prisoners from the southward; he is also to take forward those at Salisbury, which will ease you of a great deal of trouble, you will therefore not delay with them. Gen. Greene writes, in our late movements towards Charleston we took about 140 prisoners and killed and wounded near a hundred more and destroyed a prodigious quantity of baggage and stores, and took upwards of two hundred troops. Our militia fought valiantly and we lost but few men notwithstanding.
