Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Invasion of the Niagara Peninsula by the United States Army, Commanded by General Jacob Brown, in July and August, 1814
Your letter has made me very anxious and unhappy, and was it possible I should rejoice to change situations with you for a few days. I have never doubted the ability of Commodore Chauncey to beat off the Enemy should they attempt to land a force near Sackett's Harbor during his continuance in that part of the Lake. He has never expressed to me a doubt on the subject and it was only in case of his absence that apprehensions were to be entertained for the safety of the place; judge then of my surprize to see by your letter that theenemy would presume to Cross and cover their troops with their old fleet.
