War of 1812 Michigan. pg.90
Sandwich, 4th February, 1813.
Sir: —Yesterday you informed me that whatever was wanting for my present convenience should be attended to as far as circumstances would permit if I would make my wants known to our friends in Detroit. I am destitute of shoes, and could not wear any if I had thorn, as my right foot is swelled too much. A pair of socks would be better. These with a blanket, outside coat, a pair of mitts or gloves, with ten or twelve dollars in cash, would supply my necessities at present.
I am yours, &c,
Samuel McKeehan,
Surg's Mate, 2d Reg., 2d Brig., Ohio Militia.
