• Vol. 1 - OCTOBER, 1784. - Edward Wilson vs. Dennis Burns.--Writ, 14th January, 1782. Middlebrook Headquarters, June 7, 1777. Dear friends--I have an opportunity to write to you where I am and how I am. We came from Tygars Valley here, as you no doubt have heard long ago, and had a very fatiguing march of it. But, thank God, I have had my health very well through all my fatigues. I have the good news to tell you that our army is very healthy and in good spirits and increases daily. The English never dare to come out from their breastworks. We are within four miles with our main army and our guards in sight of theirs. We have had no battles lately worth mentioning. I sent a watch up from Winchester by Dennis Burns, and a pair of silver shoe and knee buckles. Also one pair of sleeve buttons which I desired him to leave with you. I told him to sell the watch if he could get the opportunity. If he has sold her get the money and keep it until I return. If I never return, it is yours. You may sell the cow when you can this fall and pay Isaac Carson for keeping her and keep the rest. (I sent £3 in money by Dennis Burnes, which you have got, I suppose.) Also some clothes which I almost forgot to tell you of. I hope you will get them if you have not gotten them from him. You may show Isaac Carson this letter and give my compliments to all. From your well wisher (Signed) Edward Wilson. N. B.--Write all opportunities, and direct to the care of Captain Bowyer at Middlebrook, the Jerseys. To Mr. John Young, Middle River, Augusta, Virginia.
