Text of Record

“Capt. Heinrich Schmidt and his men left this morning, taking the four prisoners, who were on horseback, bound hand and foot, and were to be put in the Richmond jail. The Brethren Bagge and Bonn made out a statement of the damage the prisoners had done, and gave it to Capt. Schmidt to take to Col. Armstrong, with our request that he take our considerable loss into consideration… Toward evening there arrived Col. Armstrong, Mr. Joseph Williams, Capt. Joseph Philips and Capt. Schmidt, who brought back the four prisoners, under guard.”
