I am, however, clearly of opinion, that they will notmove that way until they have endeavoured to give a severe blow tothis army. The risk would be too great to attempt to cross a river, when they must expect to meet a formidable opposition in front, andwould have such a force as ours in their rear.

Should they be imprudent enough to make the attempt, I shall keepclose upon their heels, and will do every thing in my power to makethe project fatal to them.
