Note 1076 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Major Weemys, who commanded in the night assault on Sumter at Fishdam Ford, was unfortunate in his later career, and died in poverty in the city of New York. His manuscripts came into the possession of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Among them is one entitled Sketches of Characters of the General Staff Officers ... in the British Army. It is the work of a disappointed man, but probably reflects the opinions of many officers in the British army.
