Page "Battle of Guilford Court House" Paragraph 17

In a letter to Lord George Germain, delivered by his aide-de-camp, Captain Broderick, Cornwallis commented: " From our observation, and the best accounts we could procure, we did not doubt but the strength of the enemy exceeded 7, 000 men ...

I cannot ascertain the loss of the enemy, but it must have been considerable ; between 200 and 300 dead were left on the field of battle .... many of their wounded escaped .... Our forage parties have reported to me that houses in a circle six to eight miles around us are full of others .... We took few prisoners ".
