Description
Having left his brigade under Col. Harrison, he inspected the defences at Williamsburg; finding that Gen. [Thomas] Nelson had done everything possible, he crossed to this side of the river, bringing Nelson with him; they overtook Harrison and reinforced Gen. [Peter] Muhlenburg on the 13th; a light corps under Col. Parker was then pushed down to Suffolk; the enemy retreated and embarked at Portsmouth; praises the conduct of the militia; [Alexander] Leslie had hoped to raise a regiment; but got only one man, who deserted.
