Description
Acknowledges letters of the 26th and 28th; Lieut. Lazun has joined and Gambell has returned; the men who belonged to the Fifth need shoes and shirts; asks him to apply to the Governor for commissions for Lieuts. George Ogier, James Logan, and John Hart; he would like to know what officers and men belonged to the 5th and 6th regiments; orders the men to be put into such companies as are weakest: two of the vacant companies are to be assigned to Capts. Shubrick and Warley; Lieut. Buchannan and another wait for orders to join; he will order Lieut. Evans either to Harleston's or to his own detachment; they are still throwing up works in expectation of the militia joining, but not one has yet come; the horse are near Stono and Wappoo; near the latter place they burned a sloop two days previous; three sailors from the Vigilant at Beufort said that she was to go to Stono; Gen. Moultrie is sick at Dr. Oliphant's; hopes Dr. Thues is on his way, as Harleston has surgeons enough.
