We found the general at Frederictown, waiting impatiently for the return of those he had sent thro' the back parts of Maryland and Virginia to collect waggons. I stayed with him several days, din'd with him daily, and had full opportunity of removing all his prejudices, by the information of what the Assembly had before his arrival actually done, and were still willing to do, to facilitate his operations. When I was about to depart, the returns of waggons to be obtained were brought in, by which it appear'd that they amounted only to twenty-five, and not all of those were in serviceable condition. The general and all the officers were surpris'd, declar'd the expedition was then at an end, being impossible, and exclaim'd against the ministers for ignorantly landing them in a country destitute of the means of conveying their stores, baggage, etc., not less than one hundred and fifty waggons being necessary.

白话

我们在弗雷德里克敦找到将军,他正焦急等待派往马里兰和弗吉尼亚偏远地区收集马车的人回来。我陪了他几天,每天一起吃饭,有机会充分消除他的偏见,告诉他议会在他到来前实际做了什么、仍愿意做什么来协助行动。我准备离开时,马车征集结果回来了,只有二十五辆,还不都完好。将军和所有军官都很惊讶,宣布远征就此结束,因为不可能进行,并抱怨部长们无知地把他们送到这个缺乏运输工具的地方,而至少需要一百五十辆马车。

上下文

富兰克林自传,布拉多克将军因马车严重不足而陷入困境,暴露了后勤准备不足。
