We had a Muster on Monday last Whare the third & Fourth Numbers was Ordered to meet in Order to March After the Tories but there was Nither Officers nor men met (Only Eight or ten) the Collonel never Came at all. It is Certain (as I was Informed Last Night) that there Was One Hundred & fifty of Col. Waids Horse men Arrived at X Creek, as I Expect to Joine some party In Order to pursue the Tories nothing More at present.
