 -♦^•-^ 
 
 Kingston, 6th June 1813. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I take the first opportunity of inform- 
 ing you that I arrived safely here, the day before 
 yesterday. Our march was disagreeable beyond 
 anything I ever experienced in the whole course 
 of my life. We were ten days in getting to this 
 place, which is poverty itself. We cannot get 
 anything to eat, except our rations. The in- 
 habitants of the country have either joined the 
 army or made off; and although it is a beautiful 
 part of the country, there is nothing to be had 
 for love or money. I am happy I did not bring 
 you here, as the women are ordered from the 
 army down to Montreal. Mrs Billing, when I 
 saw her five days ago, was preparing to come 
 up, but now she must go the other way, as no 
 officer or man can be allowed to have his wife 
 with him. Before this reaches you, the news 
 of our failure at Sacket's Harbour must have 
 reached you. It ended very badly. We had 
 four men killed and seven wounded, out of 
 seventeen of the battalion present. They were 
 commanded by Ensign Rutlidge, who got great 
 praise for his conduct during the engagement. 
 
I am sorry to inform you that I could not get 
 my trunks further than Prescoat, which is nearly 
 sixty miles from this place. I was obliged to 
 take a few things in my haversack — whether I 
 again see anything I left or not, God knows ! 
 
 We are on parade every morning at two 
 o'clock, waiting for the Americans, who are on 
 the other side of the lake in great numbers. 
 They are preparing to pay us a morning visit. 
 I am sorry to say we are not in numbers sufficient 
 to receive them in the manner they deserve. 
 However, the battle is not always given to the 
 strong, and may the Almighty be with us in the 
 day of battle. 
 
 Let me know how many pairs Russian duck 
 overalls I had in my trunk, and if you sent a 
 pillow, as there was no pillow to be found when 
 I left my baggage at Prescoat. Mr Hemphill 
 and I have been together since we marched. 
 We mess together, such as it is. 
 
 Kingston, I iM/««^ 1813. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I take the opportunity of the fleet 
 that carries the women down to Montreal to 
 inform you that I am well. I am certain you 
 will think yourself fortunate in remaining at 
 Montreal now that every one is ordered away. 
 
5 
 
 KiNOSTON, \%thjum 1813. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I again take the opportunity of writing 
 as a post leaves this in a few days. 
 
 Colonel Stuart arrived here yesterday, and 
 seemed happy to see me. He informed me that 
 he had seen you at Montreal, and that you were 
 all well when he came away. I have been obliged 
 to sell him my horse, as we are again under 
 orders to march to York, with two hundred men. 
 Major Gordon, Captain Wilson, Clyne, Fox, 
 Hendrick, Johnston, and Rutlidge embarked last 
 night for same place. I have sold the horse for 
 my own money, thirty guineas, which is thirty- 
 five pounds currency. 
 
 I have given Lancaster (his servant) over to 
 the Colonel with the horse, and if I should buy 
 another, I will not give so much money for one 
 in this country, during the war. 
 
 
 Carrying Place, zydjune 181 3. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I again take the opportunity of a 
 gentleman going down to Kingston, to inform 
 you that I arrived here this morning in good 
 health, after a march of nearly one hundred miles 
 from Kingston. Our destination, I cannot at 
 present give you the smallest information of, 
 as the whole of our army is on the march against 
 
the enemy, who are at Fort George, a place 
 about three hundred miles from here. Our 
 regiment has lost several men in the actions with 
 the Americans, but we have always been the 
 victorious party. We have destroyed one of 
 their finest towns and plundered them of every 
 article. 
 
 Billing is once more a prisoner, just what he 
 wants, as he does not like the idea of smelling 
 powder. 
 
 Woods, 12 miles from Fort George, 
 Zrdjuly 1813. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I arrived here yesterday. I can give 
 you no idea of this place. We are in the centre 
 of woods, which are wild in the extreme. 
 There is nothing to be had for money, and we 
 must live on our rations, which are bad, and I 
 may say too little for any man in good health. 
 However, I endeavour to live. 
 
 The Americans are in our front, strongly 
 fortified in Fort George, and if reports are cor- 
 rect, they have mines in readiness to blow the 
 place up as soon as our army gets into the 
 garrison. I hope our generals will succeed in 
 beating them out without running the risk of 
 blowing the men up, as I have no doubt will be the 
 case, should they enter the place. Mr Hemphill 
 leaves this place with Captain Dudgeon's com- 
 
pany to-morrow morning for another part of the 
 army, distant from this place about sixty miles. 
 This I am sorry for, as we have always been 
 together since we left Montreal, but in these 
 times I cannot expect anything like comfort, 
 and this separation adds a great deal to my 
 unpromising situation. Let me know how the 
 garden comes on, also if you got my sword and 
 epaulette from Mr Brown. I have been obliged 
 to leave my brown trunk at York and bring my 
 small one here with a few things, just as many 
 as I can put in my haversack. No officer is 
 allowed more than he can put under his arm 
 and run with on all occasions. 
 
 Camp, 4 miles from Fort George, 
 26th July 1 81 3. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I have received your letters of the 
 1 8th and 24th June, and am happy you and our 
 child are in good health. 
 
 Many of the officers and men are very ill with 
 fever and ague, owing to the dampness of the 
 ground and the closeness of the woods we are 
 obliged to occupy in this poor country. 
 
 In future you will draw what sums you want 
 from the regimental agents in Montreal, Messrs 
 Gardin, Auldjoe, & Company, and they will 
 charge same to MacGregor here. There is some 
 
8 
 
 *.i 
 
 mention of a peace taking place with America 
 immediately, and if that happens, we may enjoy 
 many happy days in this country. We have 
 been continually skirmishing with the enemy 
 and have always beat them into Fort George, 
 where, however, we cannot attack them, as they 
 have it mined and ready to blow up if we go in. 
 We have certain information every da.y of their 
 movements, and are waiting the arrival of the 
 fleet. The Americans sent one of their armed 
 schooners down the other day, and she fired a 
 good many shots at us in the camp, but no lives 
 were lost. Our artillery fired two shots into her, 
 and finding they might be sunk if she continued 
 much longer, she went off in a humbler manner 
 than when she advanced. The schooner calls 
 every day, but has never cared to come near us 
 since. Captain Gordon went out riding on the 
 20th and galloped into the Americans. He has 
 written a pitiful letter, but no one seems to care 
 for him. He is now lodged as a prisoner of war, 
 where he will remain for a little, I suppose much 
 to his mind. 
 
 I would advise you to keep the carriole until 
 winter at all events, as there may be some 
 change before that time. If not, you will then 
 be able to sell it to better advantage than you 
 can at prese-^t. I wrote informing you that Mr 
 Hemphill had left this part of the army and 
 gone wi';h Captain Dudgeon to a place in the 
 rear called Burlington Bay. I now live by 
 
 m 
 
myself in an Indian house, made of branches 
 and leaves of trees, all that defends me from 
 cold and iieat, which are very great in the night 
 and day in these woods. If you can procure me 
 a box of cigars, some tea, sugar, pepper, mustard, 
 and any other things you think of, send them by 
 some careful party coming to this part of the 
 army. 
 
 Camp, 4 miles from Fort George, 
 13M August 181 3. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I received your letter of the 26th 
 
 July In one of my former letters I 
 
 mentioned that several of our officers and men 
 were very badly, and at that time I did not 
 imagine I would be attacked. I am sorry to say 
 I have been confined bedfast these fourteen days 
 with fever and ague, and have been obliged, 
 though much against my will, to go to quarters 
 in the rear with many more. Mr Connall, 
 Hendrick, M'Kenzie, are in the same state. 
 Every one is complaining of something or other, 
 owing to the damp bad ground we are encamped 
 upon. Our fleet came here ten days ago, but 
 the Americans who dashed about before they 
 came, seem very shy and won't come out from 
 under the batteries of Fort George However, 
 I hope in God a few days will decide the fate of 
 this country. The inhabitants are indifferent

 who gains the day. They are determined to do 
 nothing themselves. Where I am obliged to 
 live, the people would not sell me a fowl nor a 
 potato, and even grumble when my men use 
 their dishes. 
 
 •I* ^^* ^^* ^^* ^r 
 
 I open this letter to inform you we have taken 
 two of the enemy's schooners and sunk two. I 
 hope in a few days more they won't have one 
 remainmg. 
 
 
 St David's, 6M September 1813. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I received your letter yesterday. I 
 am certified unfit for any duty, and have pro- 
 cured leave to go to York, which is sixty miles 
 from this. I intend to leave this with the first 
 boats for that place, if I am able to move, so you 
 must stop there and inquire before you proceed 
 further. I am informed that York is not a very 
 healthy place, but my certificate from the 
 surgeon mentions that I can go a little further, 
 if I am not likely to recover, so that is left to 
 my discretion. I hope when the winter sets in 
 that the cold weather will clear away every 
 infection from m.e and the others. Among the 
 officers. Colonel Stuart, Captain Wilson, Lieuten- 
 ant Hendrick, Connal, Jenoway, A. Campbell, 
 Doctor Wilson, Ensign M'Kenzie, Miller, and 
 poor M'Leod, and myself, are all bad with fever 
 
II 
 
 and ague, and unable to be with the army, which 
 is within four miles of the Americans, who are 
 strongly entrenched. Our men and they are 
 engaged every day and night, and they still 
 come off with the worst. We have had several 
 of our men wounded, but none killed since we 
 came here. Our fleet chased theirs some time 
 ago, and commenced a running fight, and in a 
 very short time took two of their schooners, 
 sank two, and disabled two more, in such a 
 manner that it is doubtful v/hether they got into 
 port or went down. However, I suppose you 
 will have the news at Montreal very nearly as 
 soon as some parts of the army, which is a good 
 deal divided. 
 
 When I got to York in coming here, every 
 officer who had two trunks left one or both, and 
 took what would shift himself. I did the same 
 some time afterwards. The Americans came 
 and took everything they could lay their hands 
 on, and my trunk with everything I brought away 
 with me, except a change and my blanket and 
 sheet. I heard a few days since that the baggage 
 of Colonel Stuart, Major Gordon, and Adjutant 
 MacEwen is safe however. My going there will 
 satisfy me on that head. I had the information 
 in good time, as officers and men were ordered 
 to give in statements of their losses, and mine 
 was in some days before the order was known, 
 so that I had time to withdraw it until I found 
 what loss I had actually sustained.

 York, inM September 1813. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Montreal. 
 
 I take the opportunity of Lieutenant 
 and Adjutant Stone of the 49th regiment going 
 down to Montreal to acquaint you that I got 
 here this morning. I cannot say I am much 
 better. 
 
 York, 2\st October 1813. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Carrying Ground. 
 
 I wrote you last night, and have now 
 only to say that a Major Allan of this place, a 
 good gentleman to the army, happens to be the 
 person all the goods in your boats are for, and 
 this morning a boat is going down to bring up 
 some things, and you are to have a passage in 
 her. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you 
 soon in this place. 
 
 Fort George, 31J/ March 1814. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Chippawa. 
 
 I received by the hands of Phillops 
 a ham and a small basket of eggs, which came 
 very opportunely, as there is nothing to be got 
 here for money. The whole place is a ruin, 
 nothing to be seen but brick chimneys standing, 
 what the fire could not destroy, of the once 
 beautiful town of Newark. The whole of the 
 men have been employed raising batteries and 
 other works for the protection of the place, but 
 
13 
 
 I will say nothing as to the issue We were 
 alarmed last night, and were under arms most 
 of the night, owing to the enemy firing over the 
 river. As they are within a short distance, it 
 was expected they would make a landing on 
 this side ; however, they did not make their 
 appearance, so we were permitted to go to our 
 quarters, which are beyond any I have occupied 
 in this country, nothing to be had but water, and 
 that would be scarce if the river was not near us. 
 I am getting into a barrack with Bailey and 
 Vaughan, the only one In the place, and will 
 have it ready in a few days for your reception, 
 if you are determined to abide by a stirring and 
 restless life. I am afraid this will be the case 
 throughout the summer, as the Americans are 
 determined to beat us from the place very soon. 
 Give my respects to Captain Muirhead, Margaret, 
 and all the family. See if you can get James 
 to give you his Morgan to draw the cart, as my 
 poor Paddy has been lame since I left Chippawa, 
 and is at present unable to take the journey. 
 Bring some spirits, and everything you want, as 
 there is nothing here. At present the roads are 
 very bad, and hardly passable for carriage or 
 horse. 
 
 Camp, near Fort Erie,

of yesterday, and expect the same this evening. 
 May the God of battles be with us. 
 
 Falls of Niagara, 
 z^thjuly 1 814. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Fort George. 
 
 I came here yesterday on my way to 
 Fort Erie, where the enemy is determined to 
 make a stand. They have done a great deal pf 
 harm in this part, and among the sufferers is 
 poor Muirhead, who has been burnt out of his 
 house — Street's mills, and many more. Captain 
 Rowan and Lieutenant Grant joined this morn- 
 ing, and it is expected we will move towards the 
 enemy this evening. 
 
 Street's Creek, zxstjtdy 1814. 
 
 Mrs MacEwen, Fort George. 
 
 I wrote you yesterday from the Falls. 
 Captain Roxburgh of the Glengarry Regiment 
 promised to deliver it to you. 
 
 This place, from the quarters we occupied 
 yesterday, is one continuous ruin. We have not 
 seen a single soul all the way we have come. 
 We are making every preparation to move 
 towards Fort Erie, where the enemy is in con- 
 siderable force waiting for one more trial. If 
 once more defeated here, they will be quiet for 
 the remainder of the summer.

 Mrs MacEwen, Fort George. 
 
 We are employed during the night 
 IP raising a battery, which I hope wc will be able 
 to make use of against the enemy to-morrow. 
 It will cause them either to come to an engage- 
 ment or leave the Fort. ... I am certain 
 if they fight it will be dreadful for the defeated 
 side. 
 
 Camp, before Fort Erie,

 Mrs MacEwen, Fort George. 
 
 I take the opportunity of Corporal 
 Lees going to the Fort. I wrote you on the 7th, 
 under cover to Mr Haswell, and hope you 
 received it. The substance of it was informing 
 you of my agreeing with your wish to ride up 
 and spend a day with me. If you can come up 
 in your cart it will be the best way of travelling, 
 as it will answer for your bed while you are here, 
 and you can bring any little thing with you for 
 your comfort while you remain. This you can- 
 not do if you ride. You may buy a stout horse 
 for the cart if you can get one cheap at Fort 
 George, but you will endeavour to have some 
 one near you who understands about age, move- 
 ments, &c. 
 
 The enemy are determined to do everything 
 
I'i

 to save their honour, therefore the struggle will 
 be great on both sides.
