Dear Thomas:
Though many seasons have passed...
5:47:20
...it seems like only yesterday when
we last saw each otherin Charles Town.
5:47:25
With sadness, I learned
ofits recent fall to the British...
5:47:29
...under General Cornwallis.
5:47:35
I received a letter
from Aunt Charlotte...
5:47:37
...saying she closed herhome
in Charles Town after the city fell...
5:47:40
...and moved to herplantation
on the Santee.
5:47:53
Here in the north, our campaign has
been marked by defeat and privation.
5:48:00
Ourlosses have been grievous.
5:48:08
My good friend, Peter Cuppin,
fell at Elizabethtown.
5:48:19
His death has been difficult to bear.
5:48:35
We will march south
with General Gates...
5:48:37
...to fight the Redcoats
under Cornwallis.
5:48:43
Thank you, sir.
5:48:49
Easy, Red. Easy.
5:48:58
I envy you...
