From The Papers Of General Nathanael Greene, Vol. 7, Page 409:
	“From Colonel Otho Williams, ‘Rob Marlay’s’, NC, 7 March 1781, 7 pm. 
His men remain where NG left them because it is the only place in the area 
where they can get forage for the cavalry horses. He is concerned that a supply 
of provisions and spirits, which is reportedly to be sent ‘for the use of the 
Light Corps,’ may go only to Lee’s Legion; ‘to prevent uneasiness and trouble,’ 
he asks that it be sent to the issuing commissary of the light troops. Has sent 
out parties to investigate a report that an enemy party ‘this afternoon’ was 
near the Old Bridge.’ ALS (MiU-C), 1 page.”

	“From Colonel Otho Williams, [Robert Marlay’s, NC], 7 March 1781, ‘11 
o’clock’. Reports of the ‘alarm’ resulted from the woods catching fire at their 
last encampment. The British ‘remain at and near’ Weitzel’s Mill. ALS (MiU-C), 
1 page.”
