30th Sept’r, 1781
Now that his Excellency is here, we have begun to show
the redcoats what
we’re made of. We are now encamped no more than a mile from
their left line, having been here for a good two days now, and the
French troops are encamped on their right. Their main works are
in Yorktown, and we’ve begun a proper siege. Today, we drove
Cornwallis back to his inner works and seized his outer line.
