Note 63 — SOME ACCOUNT OF THE PUBLIC LIFE OF THE LATE LIEUT.-GENERAL Sir GEORGE PREVOST, Bart. &c. &c. (continued 2)
Reading edition
"I have had the honor to receive your letters of the 9th and 18th inst. The first I received at York on my way to the centre division, and I cannot refrain from expressing my regret at your having allowed the clamour of the Indian warriors to induce you to commit a part of your force in an unequal and hopeless combat.
"You cannot be ignorant of the limited nature of the force at my disposal for the defence of our extensive frontier, and ought, therefore, not to count too largely upon my disposition to strengthen the right division."
