Missing his only opportunity, on the eleventh, after a useless halt of two 11. days he defiled by the right, and, marching to the north of Camden, on the thirteenth encamped at 13.

The time thus allowed, Rawdon used to strengthen himself by four companies from Ninety-Six, as well as by the troops from Clermont, and to throw up redoubts at Camden. On the evening of the tenth, Cornwallis left 10. Charleston and arrived at Camden before the dawn of the fourteenth. At ten o'clock on the night of 14. the fifteenth, he set his troops in motion in the 15. hope of joining battle with the Americans at the break of day. On the fourteenth, Gates had been joined by seven 14. hundred Virginia militia under the command of Stevens.
