Tarleton's victory over General Sumpter's American forces at Fishing Creek, South Carolina, which opened the way for a British invasion of North Carolina (see). This is followed by two reports of Cornwallis advancing into North Carolina, plus a note that: "...great numbers of loyalists from North Carolina have flocked in to join the army with his Excellency Earl Cornwallis..." (see).
The bkpg. has a report noting: "...from Lord Cornwallis's headquarters at Waxhaw, every thing was going on to his Lordship's wish & great numbers of the Loyalists daily coming in from North Carolina."
