Summary
Enclosing a "very rough Sketch of our Bats which fired against Fort George - The materials I have are as you may observe of the worst kind but the Sketch bad as it is I hope will serve to refer to in perusing the Public Dispatches;" adding, in a postscript, "I did not expect to have had another Lt. Col. put over me."
