To Dr. Gordon. [Extract. '] Lord Cornwallis then proceeded to the Point of Fork, and encamped his army r from thence all along the main James river, to a seat of mine, called Elk-hill, opposite to Elk island, and a little below the mouth of Byrd creek. | (You will see all these places exactly laid down in the map annexed to my Notes on Virginia, printed by Stockdale. ) He remained in this position ten days, his own headquarters being in my house at that place. I had time to re- move most oflhe ...effects out of the house. He destroyed all my s. Towing crops of corn and tobacco; he burnt I all my barns, containing the same articles o. ' the last year, having first taken what corn l. E wanted; he used, as was to be expected, all my stock of cattle, sheep, and hogs, for the sustenance of his army, and carried off all the horses capable of service ; of those too young for service he cut the throats ; and he burned all the fences on the plantation, so as to leave it an absolute waste. He car- ried off, also, about thirty slaves.
