Greene's camp whom he instantly charged, killing four & putting the rest too flight." The Maryland Assembly resolved: "...that peace with Great Britain...is an object truly desirable; but that war, with all its calamities, is to be preferred to national dishonour...any negotiation for peace or truce not agreeable to the alliance with France is inadmissible..." and much more.
