orth, and back again. They told me they were
expecting some twelve or fifteen parties back from Maryland
again, very soon.

When I came over in the boat it was manned by four oarsmen and
one steersman, and as passengers, Norris, an Englishman and
myself, and brought over a mail. We landed at Cobb Neck.
Morris said he would start back from the other side of the
Wicomico.

---- Reed, formerly a boatman on the Potomac.
---- Brockenborough.

These men said they were daily expecting members of Mosby's
command on the Neck."
