[Compo Hill about nearly one mile long and more than a quarter of a mile in breadth – It would seem that some volunteers and militia attacked on the north end of the hill – that the British faced west, on which side Col. Lamb attacked, and that Arnold was about leading on a column when Lamb was driven down – Where was this column? – Where was Arnold &c. – ]
[Mrs. Bennett of Campo Lane, 2 doors below Mrs. C.]
