William Henry Harrison, headquarters at St. Mary's, letter to Isaac Shelby, Frankfort, Kentucky :
Manuscripts
Harrison writes to the governor of Kentucky during the War of 1812, discussing his appointment as commander of the northwestern army and a proposed expedition to Detroit. He also discusses the conduct cases of Major Bodly (presumably Thomas Bodley) and Mr. Eastland. Harrison mentions reported activities of Native Americans in the area of Brownstown, Michigan, and the army's goal of sweeping them "from Brownstown to the Rapids." Postscript in Harrison's hand discusses new intelligence about actions at Fort Defiance and his subsequent plans.
