Note 1108 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

There are several other descriptions from American sources. The most valuable, so far as it goes, is the report of Du Portail to Washington (Corresp. Rev., ii. 451). It relates, however, to a limited period. The same must be said of a few letters from the younger Laurens and from Woodford, the commander of seven hundred Virginians who arrived on the 21st of April. Laurens's first letter, bearing date of Feb. 25th, is in Moore's Materials for History, p. 173. The second, written on March 14th, is in Corresp. Rev., ii. 413. The third, which bears date of April 9th, is in Ibid. 435. Woodford's letter of April 8th is in Ibid. 430. Cf. also Ibid. 401, 420, and Moore's Materials, 175.
