Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Documentary History of the Campaign Upon the Niagara Frontier, in the Year 1813, Vol. 4: 1813; October to December, 1813, With Additional Documents, June to October, 1813 Sir, - The enemy is still off this harbor. I have received a letter from General Porter, stating that a number of the enemy's troops had been seen moving up from Fort Erie in the direction of Long Point. From this and several other circumstances we have expected that an attack would be made upon this place. The militia have been called out. I have not the most distant fear of the vessels even should the enemy get possession of the town. Commodore Chauncey has' sent me a sailing master, three midshipmen, and sixty-five men. Very few of the men are seamen. I am rejoiced to have them; as bad as they are. We are ready to sail the instant officers and men arrive, and as the enemy appear determined to dispute the passage of the bar with us, the question as to command of the lake will soon be decided.
