The best of this class, perhaps, is that of Colonel Senff, an engineer officer who was with Sumter at the time. The original is among the Steuben Papers, a portion being printed in Mag. Amer. Hist., v. 275. See also two letters written by Governor Nash of North Carolina (Tarleton, 149, and Corres. Rev., iii. 107). The latter is especially valuable as showing the effects of the disaster on the public mind. Marion also announced the defeat to P. Horry (Gibbes, Doc. Hist., 1776-1782, p. 11).
