{"value"=>"Had omitted in his previous letter to represent Lord Cornwallis' great want of money, also distressed by lack of small arms retarding the raising of militia or provincial levies; reports attack by detachment of cavalry from Greene's [forces] under Marrian [Francis Marion] and Col. [Henry] Lee, taking prisoners Lt. Col. Campbell and one or two officers of Fanning's Corps; Greene reported east of Pedee, intending to ravage the country; had yesterday destroyed wagons and Quarter Master General's store at Monk's Corner, two very enterprising officers, Lee and Marrian, were employed on this service, he will do his best to preserve communications."}
