A dispatch from William Tryon to Hugh Waddell

Thursday, 27 October 2005

Sandy Creek Camp May 26th 1771 As most of the Inhabitants on the North side of Deep River and many on the South side, in the whole amounting to above thirteen hundred have come into Camp and Submitted themselves to Government, and your Continuing near Salisbury can be of no real advantage to the Public service, I am to require you to join me as soon as possible with the Forces under your Command at the upper Ford of Deep River, where the Trading Path crosses. I have not heard from you since your Dispatches of the 10th.
