1083. CAMDEN, Battle of.—

I sincerely
condole with you on our late misfortune [the
battle of Camden], which sits the heavier on my
mind as being produced by my own countrymen.
Instead of considering what is past, however,
we are to look forward and prepare for
the future.—
To General Edward Stevens. Washington ed. i, 250. Ford ed., ii, 333.
(R. 1780)
