(LOC - South-Carolina and parts adjacent, shewing the movements of the American and British armies.)

"That on this subject the said John answered that he, Jonathan, need not be under any apprehensions of danger until such time as there should be some disturbances below in the country between the King's army and the Colonists, and that then it would be high time for him, the said Jonathan, to take care of himself and remove from the frontiers." [Source]
