LT. COL. H. MURFREE TO GENERAL SUMNER.

Murfrees Landing, 15th April, 1781.

Dear General:

I recd. your favour of the 14th and observed the contents. I will lose no time in marching the troops to general rendezvous after I receive them. But am afraid it will be some time before they are ready, as they are not yet drafted in several of the Counties in this district, but will use my utmost endeavor to have them on the march as soon as possible.

I have no news.

I am your most H. Servt.,
H. MURFREE.
