Washington's Continental Army was once again forced from the field of battle, thus signifying an English victory. But the American Army had given a hard fight to it's enemy, and it was well accounted for in many instances. After the battle, Colonel Hartley of the Pennsylvania line wrote a letter to his friends William Atlee and Paul Zantzinger upon the only desk he had available, the head of a drum. " To-morrow may be of great consequence to America- we shall not wait for the enemy again-we are just moving- our troops are numerous and in high spirits. We hope soon to finish the Campaign with Success. All of your friends behaved well in action (at Brandywine) and the survivors are ready for action again. "
