Taffy's under my arm & removed
|
||
|
|
||
|
without sleep - rest until Tuesday
|
||
|
|
||
|
night when the last man was seen
|
||
|
|
||
|
away, the Battle of Chaloner had been
|
||
|
|
||
|
fought, and the enemy just to be
|
||
|
|
||
|
destroyed. I then found the
|
||
|
|
||
|
scene of the action ahead of me.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Taffy an enemy to you and with
|
||
|
|
||
|
it should be the utmost met. The
|
||
|
|
||
|
Battle of Chaloner, an action of
|
||
|
|
||
|
the 17th, and remained until my
|
||
|
|
||
|
supper and strength were both
|
||
|
|
||
|
exhausted, and refused to re-suffer
|
||
|
|
||
|
myself and return. The
|
||
|
|
||
|
will not meet if favorable the en-
|
||
|
|
||
|
emy the battle at Westmore - as
|
||
|
|
||
|
I heard the first cannon sound
|
||
|
|
||
|
the enemy, and I fell, coming from
|
||
|
|
||
|
the deck, and quickly the air was the
|
||
|
|
||
|
very clear the air was to know for
|
||
|
|
||
|
when I came home with the
|
||
|
|
||
|
to Washington. Sent letters by his
|
||
|
|
||
|
own direct regiment take charge of
|
||
|
|
||
|
my letters, which I sent on at
|
||
|
|
||
|
Washington. A few days before the the
|
||
|
|
||
|
battle at the landing. I had
|
||
|
|
||
|
my first at the Long House
|
||
|
|
||
|
and with the exception of two
|
||
|
|
||
|
days which I found among the
|
||
|
|
||
|
enemy suffering in Fredericks-
|
||
|
|
||
|
burg. I removed them with the
|
||
|
|
||
|
hurried and without rest or
|
||
|
|
||
|
until they were all taken away.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I knew my services have been
|
||
|
|
||
|
profitable. I now they have been
|
||
|
|
||
|
delusions and appreciated. I
|
||
|
|
||
|
have changed my own position
|
||
|
|
||
|
and I then mounted it, when the
|
||
|
|
||
|
men to show by the salute before
|
||
|
|
||
|
the bullet and the battle.
