Interesting war-dated LS signed “Willm. Henry Harrison,” one page, 7.5 x 9.75, October 25, 1813. Harrison writes from the headquarters at Buffalo to Major General Gano. In part: “I arrived here yesterday with a detachment of the Army and will proceed immediately to Fort George. Nothing of consequence had taken place, when the last accounts came from Gen. Wilkinson’s Army. He has certainly however before this entered Canada at the head of a very large force which he had assembled at and in the neighbourhood of Sackett’s Harbour. There was a man by the name of Crandell in custody at Lower Sandusky on suspicion of being a spy—there is no positive proof against him, be pleased therefore to release him. I will thank you also to deliver the three Mingo or Delaware Indians which you have in your possession to the Delaware Chief Anderson, who has promised to be responsible for their good behaviour—Indeed I believe that they never intended any harm. If Anderson has returned home, you can send them to him or to Mr. Johnson at Piqua….” In very good condition, with intersecting folds (vertical fold to last name), a few small marginal tears and holes (small loss to blank portion at lower right corner), and light allover toning and wrinkling.
