Abstract:
Delivering news of American recapture of Fort Malden, Sandwich, Upper Canada, and Fort Detroit, "without loss of a man or the fireing of a gun. Genl Procter wisely abandoned these posts and has sought refuge in the wilds with his brethren (the savages)." William Henry Harrison's intelligence indicates General Henry Procter was fortifying on the River Thames, but "his Indian force is very much diminished, many of them are anxious to take shelter under the American Ensign of Liberty." Brief details regarding conditions at Fort Malden and Fort Detroit and the public's good reception of the army at Sandwich. Speculation on whether they will go to Michilimackinac. Displeasure with his commandant.
