Trenton, November 7. Extract of a letter from an officer of
rank in the Jersey line. Camp at York Town, October 21,
1781.
[Congratulations for the victory and description of the
surrender ceremony]
The allied army was drawn up in two straight lines, facing
each other, leaving a space for the British column to pass.
The Commander in Chief with his suite on the right of the
American line; the Count de Rochambeau opposite, on the left
of the French. Lord Cornwallis pleading indisposition, the
British were led by General O'Hara, conducted by General
Lincoln. Their colours cased, and they were not allowed to
beat a French or American March. . .
