28 December 1813
Brown, Jacob (1775-1828)
Autograph letter signed
Title: to George Newbould
General Brown forwards $300 to pay interest on a bond. Notes that his quarters are good and that supplies are coming to his town. Indicates that he is not worried by the enemy forces in the vicinity and welcomes an attack, because it would "give me another chance for acquiring military reputation and of promoting the honor...of my Country." In a postscript, seeks Newbould's candid opinion of the army.
