"I am unhappy to find the discontents of the soldiery have risen so high, but I hope the [reasonable?] severity exercised upon the serjeant will have the happiest effect in suppressing if it does not entirely extinguish the spirit of mutiny. I am sensible of the advantages that may result from my activity in gathering up the cloathing to effect which I would not hesitate to subject myself to vulgar abuse.... The general may expect ten waggon loads of cloathing very shortly (perhaps 10 days) from Camden...." I found a serjeant & 2 men at Hugon's (Simons's) ferry, which supposing them left there by mistake I have ordered to camp. They joined Lt [Enos] Reeves, who brings some sick men left in Virginia & who escorts four waggons with the generals & some commissary's stores. They will be in camp by Saturday." Col. [William?] Henderson is sick in bed; no Negroes have come up to forward the recruiting of the So. Carolina Line, nor do I believe this business will ever go on, without the general interests himself in it." The governor has appointed no state commissary in this district. The quarter masters are frightened from impressing provisions...; the people will let nothing go without, & the posts are destitute. Col. Kershaw would undertake it, and ought immediately to be appointed -- mention this to the general." Joseph Kershaw was a Col. in the South Carolina Militia; he was taken prisoner in 1780, but escaped and returned to fight for independence. Sends regards to Mrs. Greene & the general and to [Lewis] Morris, [Ichabod] Burnet, & [Thomas] Shubrick. Lewis Morris and Thomas Shubrick were attached to the South Carolina line; Icabod Burnet to Georgia; all were Aides-de-Camp to General Greene. All three were original members of the Society of the Cincinnati, as were Pendleton and Pierce. Page [4] blank except for docket notice.
