Letter to Alexander from George Hamilton, August 1812
Description
Letter (4 pages) to Alexander from George Hamilton. He writes that he has heard from some Indians that Governor Hull has about 1500 men and that they mentioned 4000 to you. He adds that little dependence can be placed on their intelligence but the former account agrees better with other information, with some being on this side at Sandwich and the remainder at Detroit. He writes that how or when they proceed he does not know, but thinks that going down the river in a large boat is the correct and most predictable plan. He is afraid that the coming reinforcements will be too small.
