Sir, I have had no opportunity to give you an earlier account of the destruction at Cherry-Valley, where I arrived the day after the tragedy was acted, and did not return home till last night, having been busied in collecting and burying the dead, and getting the distressed inhabitants brought off. I was never before spectator of such a scene of distress and horror. . . |
