Reading edition
Rawdon's order which brought on the battle is in Pol. Mag., ii. 340. The British commander reported to Cornwallis (Corn. Corr., i. 97, and Remembrancer, xv. 1); Balfour to Germain (London Gazette, June 2-5, 1781; reprinted in Annual Register for the same year under Principal Occurrences, p. 71; Pol. Mag., ii. 380; Remembrancer, xii. 27; Tarleton, p. 465; etc.). On the 6th Balfour wrote to Clinton, giving a very gloomy account of affairs (Clinton, Observations on Cornwallis, etc., App. p. 97). Clinton enclosed several letters of about this time to Germain (Remembrancer, xii. 151). In a letter to Cornwallis, dated Monk's Corner, May 24, Rawdon describes his movements after the fight. It is a valuable letter (London Gazette, July 31-Aug. 4, 1781; Remembrancer, xv. 4, while extracts are in Ibid. xii. 151; Pol. Mag., ii. 482; Tarleton, 475; Clinton, Observations on Cornwallis, etc., App. p. 91; Gibbes, Doc. Hist. (1781-82), p. 77, etc.).
