addin' Piracy to his long list of crimes.
Tracy's invashun was not very alarmin
at first an his defeat was left to few
sherffs an deputies but they was swep'
away like tn Chaff before tn Wind
and was made Hard to Ketch. Then
tn Nashunle Guard was put into tn
fier. Theys been a few engagements
in which tn akshuns of tn Milishy
an the Sherffs was mostly Reerguard.
an some times tn armies of TIL Two
Suffrin States was so Impetyous at

When tn Invashun first commenct
Tracy had some reinforcements, a fell

They started out on another Cam
