War of 1812 Michigan. pg.29
Detachment Orders.
Detroit, 12th July, 1812. Officers and soldiers of the Detachment:
The perseverance and activity with which you have sustained and discharged the various services which have fallen to your share for some days past, would have done credit to a band of veterans, and have not escaped the notice of either the General or the patriotic army he led into the country.
I have only to regret that the general regulations should have prevented you the gratification of being among the first who descended the opposite bank of the river; but however anxious you may feel to visit that side, it must in no instance be done without permission.
J. Witherell, Major Comdt.
