Extract of a Letter from Gen. Marion to Capt. Postell.

January 19, 1781.

Dear Sir,

Your father may keep the canoe you mention. I have received the prisoners, by Mr. M'Pherson,* and shall give them the pleasure of seeing head quarters.

* Depeyster's company of grenadiers.

I am, dear Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Francis Marion.
