than their number, for never did either men or officers offer their blood more willingly in the service of their Country. I cannot help acknowledging my obligations to Colonel Williams for his great activity on this and many other occasions in forming the army, and for his uncommon intrepidity in leading on the Maryland Troops to the charge, which exceeded anything I ever saw, I also feel myself greatly indebted to Captains Pierce and Pendleton, Major Hyrne and Captain Shubrick, my Aids de Camp for their Activity and good conduct throughout the whole of the Action,

This dispatch will be handed your Excellency by Captain Pierce, to whom I beg leave to refer you for further particulars,

I have the honor to be with great respect
Your Excellency's

Most Obedient and most
humble servant
