Twenty-fifth Camp at Newport [in Delaware]. 29 August - 1 September 1782. Sixteen and a half miles from the preceding camp at Elkton, Maryland. The route from Elkton to Newport--the same taken in the opposite direction the previous year—is shown on the road map, No. 60. The Second Brigade had camped here in Newport in 1781 (cf. No. 59), but in a position differing slightly from the one shown on the present map of the 1782 encampment (by divisions). The main road, to the right of which the army camped, is present Market Street (State Route 4). THe street intersecting this, at the top of the map, is State Route 41.

The next camp was at Chester, Pennsylvania. The army thus marched through Wilmington without camping there, as one brigade had done in 1781 (cf. No. 75). It may also be noted here that the Lauzun Legion, which remained in America after the rest of Rochambeau's army had departed, was quartered in or near Wilmington during the winter of 1782-1783. It embarked for France, with the detachments left at Baltimore, in May 1783. The exact location of the Legion's cantonment in Wilmington has not been determined; no map of it was been found by the Editors.
