MG-A(G.775.034
28 Dec 1775:22 (1581)
Great Bridge, near Norfolk, Dec. 9. The enemy were
reinforced about 3 o'clock this morning with (as they tell
me) every soldier of the 14th regiment, at Norfolk,
amounting to 200, commanded by Capt. Leslie; and this
morning, after reveille beating, crossed the bridge, by
laying down some plank, and made an attack to force our
breast work (the prisoners say the whole number amounted to
500, with volunteers and black) with two pieces of cannon,
but none marched up but his Majesty's soldiers, who behaved
like Englishmen. . .
