Camp before Ninety Six
June 3, 1781

Dear General,
I am sorry to find that you are in want of some additional force to compleat [sic] the reduction of fort Cornwallis. Our operations here are in such a situation that we cannot comply with your request until the arrival of the troops now on the march from Charlotte who are expected in either tomorrow or the next day.

Lord Rawdon is fortifying at Goose Creek with in about 17 miles of Charles town and at a place called Dorchester. The militia are all rising [page 2] to a man in all the lower Country; and only three men have refused. George Town is said to be evacuated. Nothing new from the Northward; from which I conclude all things go well in that quarter. This place will be summoned this day; and if it won’t surrender we shall be obliged to burn the town to expedite the reduction.

Your plan for the division of stores is perfectly satisfactory. I beg you will take particular care to have the publick’s share properly taken care of.

With esteemed regard
I am dear sir
Your Most Obed
Humble Ser
N Greene
