Writes to Secretary of War Armstrong to inform him that since he has not received orders and has finished as a witness in the trial of General William Hull, he will travel to Ohio. McArthur was then a brigadier general. Hull had bloodlessly surrendered Fort Detroit in August, 1812, during the War of 1812, and was charged with cowardice and treason.
