Lafayette writes of military operations taking place in Virginia: "Major MacPherson having taken up fifty light infantry, behind fifty dragoons overtook Simcoe and regardless of numbers, made an immediate charge.

After giving report of the casualties on both sides, he continues. "They (the enemy) acknowledge the action was smart, and Lord Cornwallis was heard to express himself vehemently upon the disproportion between his and our killed, which must be attributed to the greater skill of our rifle-men."
